Last night I revisited Teatro Cervantes with my mother to see "Argentina's River Dancers: Malambeando." It was exhilarating. Argentinian dance is centered around three movements: tango, milango, and malambo. I have seen several flamenco, tango and drumming performances before and this blew them all out of the water. I want to say it was "Fuerzabruta"/ "De La Guarda", + irish riverdancing + tango + the movie "Step up." There was drumming, tap dancing, tango, and they used this jump rope type thing with an object attached to it and whipped it against the floor in unison (I really don't know how else to describe it.) They were so in sync and it happened so quickly that the ropes made a halo-type formation around the dancers. Overall the performance was diverse in content, extremely energetic and fun. They are coming to New York in 2010! Check out this website if you are interested in learning more about them.Tuesday, October 27, 2009
