a steamy night in buenos aires - went to see boccatango - it was amazingly artistic. julio bocca's dancing is so sensual - my favorite dance was when he was dancing with a ladder - his weaving in and out of the ladder was so agile and catlike. at first, the concert was admittedly a bit disappointing - i had such high hopes for the famous table dance (that is one lucky table). but slightly disappointed, but it got better as the night went on - the costumes got sparser, and the dancing got freer. it made sense, and it was really amazing to see.
some shocked viewers were surrounding me. ;) originally the argentine tango was meant to be danced with two men, and it really brought fresh perspective on gender roles, especially on stage. overall, it was a great opportunity to see a legendary dancer like julio bocca, currently the principal at the american ballet theater. there was also a young dancer in the company who really stood out - i met him afterwards very briefly, a member of ballet argentine. i told him i think he's going to be famous and he was so happy that he kissed me on the cheek. :) his lines are similar to marcelo gomes... we shall see.
