SPINCITY: Sizzle with tango
TWO of the finest contemporary tango dancers in the world, Nazareno Borda and Mariana Gourgues, from Montevideo, Uruguay, are set to sizzle the stage with their own style of this sensuous dance form at the Milonga Montevideo Night Gala Dinner.
The event, which will be held at the Royal Selangor Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur, is part of the cultural programme of the Embassy of Uruguay and the Kuala Lumpur Tango Club.
The couple, who have been dancing partners since 1997, were the semifinalists of the Tango Dance World Cup Championship this year.
They have also participated as soloists in numerous prestigious dance shows all over the world. Gourgues, who has a Masters degree in Civil Engineering, is also a classical ballet and a folk dancer while Borda, is said to be one of the best tango teachers in Montevideo.
The music for this particular evening will showcase the works of Uruguayan artistes such as Carlos Gardel, Francisco Canaro, Horacio Ferrer and Alfredo Zitarrosa.
The Milonga Montevideo Night Gala Dinner will be held at the Royal Selangor Golf Club, Off Jalan Tun Razak, KL, on Oct 11 at 8.30pm. Admission is by donation of RM100 a person. Call 012-3151008 / 012-6628022.
