Tango Buenos Aires has become one of Argentina’s great cultural exports, known throughout the Americas, Europe and the Far East as the most authentic and uncompromising representative of the tango.
On Tuesday November 14, 2017, 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center, Cal Poly Arts will present Tango Buenos Aires’ “The Spirit of Argentina” – a sometimes playful, sometimes dramatic, and totally sensuous world music and dance showcase.
“Fast and furious, the dancers’ feet and legs flashed and wove in and around each other, or paused to move slowly and seductively, stretching the tension within the dance.” —Lincoln Journal Star
“Sometimes playful, sometimes dramatic, and always sensuous, the closely entwined bodies and limbs moved with amazing speed through deftly engineered movements, including frequent dips, deep slides, energetic foot stomps and ballet-like turns.” —Ruidoso News
“…repeatedly crafted swirling, fast-paced tapestries of movement, laced with proud postures and sensual couplings.” —The Washington Post
The acclaimed company of 25 dancers and musicians will perform a dynamic experiential journey into the culture and spirit of Argentina as part of their current successful international tour.
A free pre-show lecture will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the PAC Pavilion; led by Cal Poly Dance Emeritus faculty member Moon Ja Minn Suhr.
Student and adult tickets for the performance range from $27.20 – $64 and may be purchased in advance at the Cal Poly Ticket Office, Monday – Saturday, noon to 6 p.m., located on Grand Avenue on the Cal Poly campus; by phone at 805/756-4849; online at www.calpolyarts.org.
