A progressive Argentine tango series in Riverside welcomes both newcomers and experienced dancers, focusing on solid technique, elegant posture, and graceful footwork. Sessions start with dedicated technique work, then shift to social tango practice that develops flow, improvisation, connection, and floorcraft. Drop-in attendance is $15, with pre-paid options of six classes for $70 or ten classes for $120. Payments are accepted via Venmo, Zelle, or cash. Comfortable clothing is encouraged, and specialized tango shoes are not required, as dance socks, jazz shoes, or ballet shoes are suitable.

Create your own glass pumpkin in a hands-on, one hour workshop suitable for first timers and returning participants. Work one on one with Jason and Nicole McQuaid, who bring more than 35 years of combined glassblowing experience, as you choose your colors and help shape the piece using traditional methods. Each session runs about an hour. Because the pumpkin must cool slowly in a kiln, finished pieces will be ready for pickup at the Old Town Artisan Studios reception desk 48 hours after the workshop. For safety, secure long hair and wear closed toed shoes.
