Enjoy Tango Music and Dancing With the Just Desserts tonight at the Mercury Cafe. Hailing from Austin, Texas, Lisa Shawley and Michael Shay of the Just Desserts will bring their cello-and-accordion duet to the Merc, along with a sound that fuses the folk traditions of Argentina, Romania, Serbia, Italy and Cataluña to a tango beat. The Desserts course starts at 9 p.m. and costs $12. If you and your partner want to brush up on your skills, arrive early for $5 tango classes (beginners at 6:30, intermediates at 7:30). And don’t forget that the Mercury’s dining room offers the best in organic Colorado cuisine. It’s the perfect date night! Call 303-294-9258 or go to www.mercurycafe.com for more information. Learn more about the band at www.thejustdesserts.com.
