Maryline & Vincent @ Magic Mirrors

Published on October 22, 2010 in Brussels, milonga and performance. 0 Comments Tags: marylinevincent, tangueria.

Tuesday used to be the day there was no tango event in Brussels, and now it’s becoming the day with “l’embarras du choix“. not only is there a weekly practica at Floreo, but there is also a temporary weekly event at Place St Catherine: the Magic Mirrors tent (until the end of November).

The place is not only being used for tango on Tuesdays, there is e.g. a big evening on Saturday 30 Oct. Marisa & Oliver organize a workshop, followed by a milonga. Most importantly, there will be a demonstration by Maryline & Vincent. For those who don’t know them, they are one of the legendary tango couples in Belgium, a joy to see dance together. It has been a while since they have performed together so this is a great opportunity!

The showmanship of one of the pianists, who finished his pieces with flamboyant flourishes and winked at the audience as if to share a joke, caused the house to burst out with laughter. World champion tango dancers Daniel Nacucchio and Cristina Sosa added a ‘wow’ effect, as they impressed with their passionate dancing and daring kicks. And as soloist Juan Carlos Godoy shuffled onto stage, he had won over the audience’s hearts before he even started to sing.
