Argentina's Forever Tango at Titas but I will never forget my first experience with Tango by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady "An evening of sheer pleasure. Sensual, elegant, dazzling." - The New York Daily News
I still remember the first time I saw a Tango performed. It was in an artsy area near Buenos Aires. Two very unattractive older people started dancing to some street music. They quickly caught my eye (and everyone else's). I was soon mesmerized and could not take my eyes off of them. Soon they looked like the sexiest, hotest thing I had ever seen. The posturing, the facial expressions all said passion.
If your Valentine's Day did not live up to your romantic expections, try Forever Tango. The sizzling internationally acclaimed dance spectacular Forever Tango will blaze into Dallas with a newly revised show full of sexy surprises that The New York Times calls "A must-see". Created and directed by Luis Bravo, the show has toured internationally and has been rapturously laudedby critics as the foremost authentic tango show in the world. Forever Tango features fourteen world-classtango dancers, a vocalist and an on-stage eleven piece orchestra, including the instrument of the tango, the bandoneon (the orchestra boasts four of only 200 bandoneon players known worldwide) in an evening that celebrates the passionate music and dance of Argentina. The dances, performed to original and traditional music, are the result of collaboration between each couple and director/creator Bravo. "The tango is a feeling that you dance," says Bravo, "a story you tell in three minutes "passionate, tender, violent." In short vignettes, this lively show brings the passion, humor, romance and seduction of tango to the stage in one unforgettable evening.
