The Tara Dance in Argentina is just beginning to blossom. Leila Yeshe Dawa introduced the dance in Buenos Aires several times to an enthusiastic group. Lila Ventura, our dancing Tara from Portugal fell in love, and she and her sweetheart are developing a sanctuary in the country side near San Marcos Sierras, Cordoba, an attractive area surrounded by mountains and rivers.
