Tango, It Takes Two

PointeTango—John Hirsch Mainstage

Another stunningly beautiful performance by Erin Scott-Kafadar and Alexander Richardson. This year they have really added to the production by including video on the giant screen behind them. It starts by showing scenes from Buenos Aires and then the Tangos begin. The first 5 or 6 routines feature different tangos while Erin is dancing in ballet pointe shoes.

Their dancing is incredible, the amazing footwork, artistic leg movements, and powerful lifts as they flow almost as one across the stage. It is also very sensual. There are a couple solo numbers, before they rejoin after costume changes to match some of the vignettes of them in Buenos Aires that play on the big screen between routines. Truly spectacular.
