I was invited to this welcoming different event by Steffen, whose friend Mayumi Hotta, Dance Notator for the Royal Ballet, opened the evening with her piece “Spring Day” (imagine a girl gracefully performing on a piano while her partner is playing it...) Over the course of one hour we saw a tango-inspired piece about courtship-love-friendship and other either delicious or funny compositions.
Looking at the guys on stage, we had to accept that lifting female ballet partners up in the air all the time does have an impact on your triceps, but then, who of us regular guys would want to squeeze our ‘rescue belt’ into one of those arse-to-toe grey legging pants anyway.
However, we agreed that this recurring event makes a good date for the following reasons:
1. You (the dude) won’t fall asleep after a long day of boring meetings only interrupted by “grabbing a sandwich” for lunch, because there is just too much action on stage to keep your eyes in ‘rapid follow movement’
2. It is very sumptuous and at times erotic which might give you inspiration for later (think a gorgeous girl doing the tango girl with an equally stunning lad)
3. Since he is always gay, you won’t have any competition from that side as we all know;-)
I will certainly go back next time to witness progress of the next Alvin Ailey or Pina Bausch.
