A spectacular show of dance
Hot dance twists and turns, precision timing and the chemistry between the dancers makes Tango Fire a show that is full of not only adrenaline, but also good humour.
It seems that Carolina Soler, artistic director and choreographer, tried to give all the members equal playtime, but for most, the main event was the dance.
My aim is not to take away from the quality of the quartet or the singer Javier Di. Ciriaco but, although enjoyable, it was just that the intervals of singing and the band playing were much longer than I would have hoped.
The dance sequences that we did see were spectacular, but too brief.
If you happen to be going this evening, then be prepared for a spectacular show of dance, but be ready for the lengthy musical intervals.
The dancing is far too fantastic to not be truly the main act and there certainly could have been more of it for my taste.
But with all of the above said, the sashaying of couples, incredible lifts, twists and turns, walks as if on air and acrobatics of sorts — the dancers did an excellent job.
Throughout the second half, at times, it seemed that the audience was waiting with bated breath, only to release with applause.
Tango Fire continues tonight at the City Hall Theatre. The event is sold out.
