JUAN Y SILVIA
Tango is a ‘flesh dance’, with intertwined bodies and desire. It is a new dialogue, seduction in movement, a two worlds fusion.
Tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between.
It is a sensually charged emotional dance between man and woman that could even reach passion in the performing.
