"Impeccable technique and dazzling moves reveal all the power and beauty of the tango." — Quebec Scene

A Tango First Century performance is an intoxicating fusion of fancy footwork and musical mastery. Exploring traditional and contemporary tango, three couples gracefully execute the tango's intricate steps to pulsating beats delivered by a live band. Sexy gowns and high heels seem impossible to dance in, but the Tango First Century dancers have no trouble at all as they pay tribute to the golden years of the tango — from Paris in the 1920s to Buenos Aries in the 1930s to the ballroom tango we know today. Exciting, sensual, and provocative, this performance is a non-stop whirlwind of twirls and kicks coupled with elegant turns and twists, all guaranteed to fuel the passion that this dance form is known for.

This performance is supported, in part, with funds provided by California Presenters.
