- “Tango and Its Powerful Embrace” is a short talk about how Argentine tango pulls people in from all over the world, followed by two performances.

She also studied at La Sorbonne in Paris. Cyrena completed her MA in Performance Studies at NYU in May 2008, where she wrote her thesis, “Una Emocion: A Tango of Memories, Nostalgia and History,” focusing on the sensual experience of tango.

I do agree that this is more a performance than the experience one would get at a milonga, but anybody spreading the word and showing the different forms of the embrace, has my vote.
I have seen it first in 1987 at Calle Florida. A vivid memory that can't be forgotten.
The love story that they are telling by their dance...amazing! Thank You!
💪💪💪♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍
Flaquita muy bueno y el chavon que bailó con vos tambien
Thanks for spreading the good news, and if anybody didn't have enough
With your speech, they should experience for themselves with an unknown
person they feel attraction and compatibility, provided they know the basic
steps rules and conventions.
10 puntos y seguí disfrutando que hasta ahora ningún departamento de salud
De ningún paid Se ha quejado de daños causados por sentries placer bailando
Tango.
Was that Jesus Valasquez? The first song looked like a recreation of a performance of his some years ago.
After a long introduction about the embrace and intimacy of Tango and we get a demo of cold and affected show tango? Boooh.
agree
it"s a shame
The staging and choreography of the dancing demonstrated here may appeal to some people but most dedicated dancers of Argentine social tango, who crowd the dance floors in Buenos Aires, hold this show stuff in disdain and it is certainly not an example of the " powerful embrace" that attracts them. Tango is an improvised dance - a dance of imagination, possibility and presence. Furthermore, Cyrena and her partner ripped off the choreography for Evaristo Carriego from Carlos Gavito and Marianne's piece in the traveling show Forever Tango, which is far more compelling and can be seen on TH-cam, If you are going to watch tango choreography, go for the best.
eh i dont know about the cab rides... all i remember about my cab ride in Buenos Aries was getting ripped of by a cab driver who insists his meter is in dollars and not pesos....
well, thanks, but that is not the embrace that I love ...
Close embrace seems fine. Leaves cold embrace (open) and practice hold ,and changing between them as the dance and music progress .Matter of preference, or, what am I missing? Please tell.
she talks about the embrace to be a connection, intimacy and all the other stuff, which I agree on. But the performance tells a different story: sex, desire, swinging, speed, romantic, because it does almost not contain that said embrace.
I guess what she lacks is presence and natural sensuality? Technically awesome though.
The comment section made me lose faith in humanity
Showcase stuff not social Tango .
did not explain much. just showing dance skills.
I think that the power of tango embrace can be felt without making one single step... The show is nice, but one can see it's staged, and this ruins part of the magic for me, I guess...
