What is ‘We Call It Tango’?
We Call It Tango is a first-class dance performance that tells a captivating love story in 3 enchanting acts. The beauty of this Argentinian tradition blossoms through the fusion of soul and body in thirteen different tangos. Get ready to be captivated by a breathtaking flurry of ochos (graceful figure eights), planeos (elegant pivots on one leg with the other leg extended), and lustradas (sensuous strokes as the foot glides up and down your partner’s leg).
Tango, its music, and the show
Originating in the vibrant neighborhoods of Buenos Aires in the late 19th century, tango has developed into a worldwide phenomenon, enchanting individuals with its pulsating rhythm and profound intimacy. Over the years, tango has evolved and changed, influenced by different eras and cultures.
We Call It Tango isn’t just a performance; it’s an immersive journey into the heart of this enchanting dance form.
