Over eight hundred fans of tango and world music enjoyed the show's premiere at Peter Norton Symphony Space. Los Hermanos Macana energized the hall with their physical humor while Junior Cervila, Mariana Parma, Orlando Reyes and Adriana Salgado explored the dark side of tango.
The orchestra led by Gustavo Casenave was an audience favorite with it's Piazolla styling and the tango singer Hector Pablo Pereyra showed some Argentine soul on the mike.

Of Dana and Pablo's performance, Marie of New York City said, "It was amazing. It blew me away and I just started to cry. It was the most beautiful performance. It wasn't even a performance. It was love and passion. It's not about the steps. It's not even about tango. It's about life and how to live." See a photo
A full day of amazing workshops with Salas, Paz, Villarraza, Frigoli, Misse and Centurion, got New York tango dancers melting into the floor. After enjoying New York City's fine restaurants, they sold out the All Night Milonga with around 400 people attending.
