When she takes the stage at the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown Friday night to tango with the pros, Esther Caroline Deming will do so with only a couple of hours of preparation. She’s an avid ballroom dancer and belongs to the Martha’s Vineyard Ballroom Dancers. But the tango is not a typical part of her repertoire. Instead, Ms. Deming will get a crash course from a group of classic Argentinian tango dancers when they arrive on Island at 5 p.m. Friday evening. The performance starts at 8.
