BROADWAY, BALLET & BEYOND

ABOUT:
Company-in-residence Pacific Northwest Ballet presents a second program featuring a thrilling variety of dance including Twyla Tharp’s spectacular Nine Sinatra Songs.

"Tharp's now-classic Nine Sinatra Songs was the finale, a pageant of Oscar de la Renta dresses and tuxedos with a giant disco ball spinning overhead - on one level, like the best episode of 'Dancing with the Stars' ever. On the other, the collection reminded us strongly of Goya's Capriccios - here, distillations of romantic interaction in the language of tango, flamenco, even exhibition disco." - Michael van Baker, Seattlest

U.S. Premiere of Romper el Piso featuring Natalia Hills & Gabriel Missé

ABOUT:
The U.S. premiere of Romper el Piso, the spectacular new Tango show starring Natalia Hills, Gabriel Missé and a full company of dancers and musicians straight from Buenos Aires.

“...Ms. Hills and Mr. Missé …started fast in “Ataniche,” at once showing how electrifying milonga/tango footwork can be, and what started as an instant thrill on my part grew into rapture. To be more specific, Ms. Hills … is a completely appealing and stylish dancer: delightful at a brisk tempo, sensuous at any pace and riveting in tiny points, like slowly bringing feet together or, at leisure, extending a leg at calf height. But Mr. Missé is a paragon and phenomenon….He’s not an Adonis; he’s elegant without glamour. …But his partnering makes him irresistible: the intimacy between him and Ms. Hills was glorious."
