The Tango

by Cain Hopwood

Sport, church, and drinking. That’s about all the country town of Galah has to offer. It’s no wonder anyone young, or different, moves off to the city. For Simon and Jade though, it’s where they grew up. And where they call home for now. Simon ekes out a living by freelancing, and giving the occasional tap dancing class at the local dance school. Jade works at the Galah pub, but lives for the Argentine tango. It’s just a shame she’s the only one in town who dances it. But, that all changes when they are dragged into helping with a charity dance competition. Initially the competition seems a sure fire success. With a gaggle of the town’s colorful characters partnering the dance school’s dancers, and some inter town rivalry added to the mix, the event captures the entertainment starved town’s imagination. Soon, dancing is all anyone in Galah can talk about. And Simon and Jade are at the center of the whirlwind. Until things start going wrong with Jade’s Tango.

Cain Hopwood brings small town Australia to life in a story about a dance contest in which the participants are about to learn a whole lot more about each other, and themselves. The writing style is funny, down-to-earth, and you'll warm to the characters as if you'd known them for years.
