Despite the 97-degree heat on a recent Monday evening, pair by pair, dancers took to the wooden floor shaded by a glass canopy in Director’s Park.

The quickly growing assembly was there to practice their dance moves, specifically tango. The free Monday tango nights happen 6-8 p.m. every other week through September, offering social dancing accompanied by live music.

The program brings a collection of dance, music, activities and games to the park nearly every summer night.
