Tango  in classes for blind and visually impaired teens and volunteer
sighted teen mentors beginning in the summer of 2007.  Classes for the teens
are held at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and are funded in part by The
Children's Trust.  The organization has entirely funded and made possible
this same program with adult participants with classes held at Asociacion de
