Tango Aspasionado! Direct from Argentina!

PointeTango is a unique, "one-of-a-kind" dance company directed by choreographer and dancer, Alexander Richardson and created with lead dancer, Erin Scott-Kafadar. By pushing new boundaries in dance, PointeTango combines the intimacy of Argentine tango with the precision of classical ballet, creating a new dance vocabulary that is both intimate and bold.

Pointe-Tango emerged from the question: 'What happens when classical ballet meets Argentine tango?' Having trained and worked in both disciplines of classical ballet and Argentine tango extensively, Erin and Alexander challenged themselves to develop a new dance vocabulary of "pointetango" that respects the codes and connection of the Argentine tango "abrazo" (embrace) while searching for new solutions and opportunities to the challenges encountered when transitioning from heels to pointe shoes. PointeTango is the only dance company in the world to dance authentic, improvised Argentine tango on pointe shoes.
