Tango Buenos Aires took us on a journey from the humble beginnings of Eva's life, through her discovery among the crowds of Buenos Aires and to her glorious days as First Lady of Argentina all in very smooth transitions. Each stage of Eva's life was represented by a different dancer while each and every one of them accentuated different characteristics of the amazing Eva. It was very exciting to see how they painted through their movement the life of this dame. The male dancers were also spectacular, and they had such great coordination as they portrayed the typical Argentinian gaucho with their "boleadores". Their power and strength tied this performance and made it absolutely unforgettable.
PREVIEW TALKS
Preview talks were available one hour before the performance. We love to attend these talks at Segerstrom Center, because it helps us appreciate more of the night's performance. There was also a bonus dance demonstration. Choreographer Hector Falcon and the beautiful dancer Artemisa explained to us the origin of Tango and showed us the basic dance steps and their variations. They love this art form and were very passionate explaining it to us.

The performance took place in the Renee and Henry Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California. There were no need for an elaborate stage set-up as it was stripped down to the beautiful dancers and the amazing live orchestra. It was the perfect ingredients for a night of appreciation for dance.
What an amazing way to celebrate my birthday weekend. As you all know, I'm a dance buff and get really excited when I get to experience different types of dance. So what more could I ask for than to start of my celebration with an unforgettable night with my love and my parents watching Tango Buenos Aires' performance of Song of Eva Perón!
Thanks again, Segerstrom Center and Tango Buenos Aires, for an incredible birthday kickoff full of passionate dancing and spectacular music!!!
