Dance: Hugo and Celina US tour 2014

Last summer I introduced Hugo and Celina from Argentina in this blog. Simply put, they are superstar performers in Argentine Tango. Appeared in Broadway and world traveling shows.

They are back in the US for a tour (shows and workshops).





After my divorce, I am keeping a distance from a few people around (until it cools off) and do not feel like I am in the position to directly promote their event in Oklahoma City right now. I'll let the host do his job for proper promotion. 

However, I want to make this blog entry for the dancers' sake. My (somewhat awkward) current position has nothing to do with their artistic excellence. I can attest they are great dancers who can pull off awesome stage performance and do excellent workshops. They are easily a head and shoulders above from other guys from Argentina who claim to teach authentic or whatever social Tango out there. 

Stage Tango and social tango are different games. In general who can dance stage tango well can dance social Tango well too. But reverse is not always the case.

There is somewhat religious aspect in Tango. A believer of a Tango style can vehemently oppose or trash other styles. But I say, stop closing your eyes and open your eyes. Embrace the difference and diversity of Tango.

So, here I suggest readers of this blog to check out their US tour. As in the photo, they'll go through (San Antonio TX), Dallas TX, Oklahoma City OK, Champaing IL and Hilo HI.

Promoters in each city should be able to provide more details. Facebook should be a good source, too.

Facebook also says today is Hugo's birthday. Have a good one, Hugo.
