THE DUBAI
EXTRAVAGANZA…… [photogallery/Dubai/real.htm]
The
Dubai spectacle was another showcase of unity brought about by
people sharing a common passion which is that of tango. Ogie and
I were very lucky to have been invited to join Tango Dubai’s
presentation of TANGO EVOLUTION featuring Adrian Veredice and
Alejandra Hobert. The couple conducted workshop during the
week-end and gave a performance on Saturday evening, May 19 at
the prestigious Al Rootana Hotel where Ogie and I performed with
Adrian and Alejandra together with local teachers, Cesar &
Elizabeth and Richard & Sarah. (see gallery)
It was a wonderful evening of all things tango as everyone came
dressed and ready to dance. The performances that were given by
other groups namely Tango Dubai and the BNF Dance company were
all superb making the event worth remembering.
We
would like to congratulate the people behind its presentation
our good friends Paul Bradley and Eleanor Brodie and their team
who were seen all over the place making sure that everything was
properly attended.
The extravaganza did not finish as Tango Dubai was invited by
the Argentine ambassador Rubin Caro to Abu Dhabi to grace the
National Day celebration of the embassy. A special stretched
limousine was arranged by Paul to ferry all participants
numbering to fifteen as we traversed the distance between Dubai
and Abu Dhabi in between sips of red wine and champagne. Call it
class, Dubai’s got it!
Tango performances were given by the main stars Adrian &
Alejandra ditto with Cesar & Elizabeth, Richard & Sarah, Ogie
and yours truly.
Tango is indeed happening in the emirates. It is happening in
Asia and the rest of the world.
It is a nice way to keep everyone united as we build a better
and vibrant tango community through the years.
Tango is for everybody!!!
