An 11-minute video, for anyone promoting the community-building  
qualities of Argentine Tango.

It advocates an incremental, grassroots approach to urban  
revitalization, in downtown Eugene, Oregon. At the core of the film,  
is the example of the Tango Center, an Argentine Tango community  
dance-hall, launched four years ago as a prototype special-purpose  
community center. There are some scenes of floor-building, Argentine  
Tango dancing and music-making. The video is a proposal, submitted to  
the City of Eugene, and may be useful to anyone trying to create  
their own public Tango space, or to anyone arguing for humane  
approaches to urban redevelopment.
