Mora Godoy's Argentinian Tango in Beijing

Beijing's Tianqiao Theatre hosts the groundbreaking choreography of tango legend Mora Godoy. Tonight will be your last chance to catch this dancing extravaganza, comprised of steps by the Argentinian legend who not only left an indelible mark on tango, but also broadened its mainstream appeal by dancing for bands like the Rolling Stones.


RMB 100-880. Wed, 7.30pm. Tianqiao Theater



Thursday, Jan 3



Dennis de Bel's "Get Your S*** Together"

This provocatively titled exhibit isn't nearly as risque as you might assume. Instead of a profanity laced tirade, it's a deep exploration of one of Beijing's most unlikely technological magnates — the Temple of Heaven Park, which has attracted everything from ancient kites to special service radio stations to artificial intelligence over the years. All that and more, according to the coordinators, is intended to help attendees "explore the growth of technology in our day-to-day lives."


Free entry. Wed and Thu, 4pm. Institute for Provocation

Free Boxing and Training

Instead of knocking back a few beers this Friday night, try practicing your knock out right hook. Sanlitun Soho gym Champion Boxing is offering a free training session, where the owners invite you to "come on by and step into the boxing ring to do some sparring, or hit the heavy bags and use the gym for personal training."


Free entry. Fri, 8pm. Champion Boxing
