ArgenTango Dancers to Perform at Latin Nights & Sights

Argen-Tango Dance Company to perform at Latin Nights & Sights on May
14, 2010

 

 
Argen-Tango Dancers, a group that represents
the preservation of the Argentine Tango culture, dance (social and performing
arts), music and history for audiences around the world, will provide a 10
minute presentation to guests of Latin Nights & Sights. Their demonstration
of a traditional Tango and Milonga will take place during the cocktail hour. 
 
                       
In August, 2009 Vittoria Natale and
Guillermo Elkouss of Argen-Tango Dancers received a certificate of
recognition for their teaching and promotion of Argentine Tango around the
world. The certificate was given to them by Maria Cristina Lionti, President of
the Argentine Chamber of Artistic and Cultural Producers, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 
In February the dancers and
choreographers were invited to choreograph the Tango Scene for the Off-Broadway
play "Clothes for a Summer Hotel" for the White Horse Theater Company
in New York City.

Auction items for Latin Nights & Sights

Thank you to our committee members for their help with this very
special event, including Ryan Hemphill who has put the time and energy into
creating this blog.
 
 
 
Well, after a great committee meeting on Friday, where the
wine and creative ideas were flowing, I received the following from Tim Speiss
 
Good morning.

I just concluded a discussion with Abingdon Theatre Company; we have
agreed to submit an auction lot to Perkins' LN&S event - highest bidder
wins a walk on role in a Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 performance (one night
only) in an off-Broadway production; a child, or child and parents. We
can add a hosted dinner as well.

Superb ! More lots to come. Tim
 
Thanks Tim and Abingdon Theatre Company. I think a lot of folks will
love to have their moment on the stage…
 
can’t wait to see what else comes our way… Pat Chamberlin
