Tango show at Manoel

Colores del Tango, a show featuring Argentinean tango with the participation of the Beltango orchestra, will be presented at the Manoel Theatre, Valletta, on Saturday and Sunday at 7.30 p.m.

Tango originated at the end of the 19th century in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. It quickly grew in popularity and spread around the world.

There are a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras. The dancing relies heavily on improvisation, although certain patterns of movement have been codified by instructors over the years as a device to instruct dancers.

The evening is being sponsored by Pulse Fitness Studio, a gym and studio run by Estetika at the Corinthia Palace Hotel, Attard.

The dance pieces are aimed at creating the atmosphere of a sultry Buenos Aires summer night.

The performances will be presented by two main organisers, Eurydike Kovács and Barbara Elekes.
