This was SWISH substituting for lack luster choreography. It repeatedly undercut itself by pandering. If this dance troupe hopes to do more than suck up free floating gay dollars and gain respect it would do well to pay more attention to the art form than taking advantage of presumed audience artlessness.Written on Aug 02 2010

Shocking in its lack of professionalism, lame in its choreography, this show could only be classified as enthusiastically amateurish. It was a complete disappointment.Written on Aug 02 2010

I have to agree this was a self-indulgent wet dream for Bryon the creator. I don't know why he thinks he can sing, maybe because he can no longer dance? The Brokeback number was a waste of time even as short as it was. The real talent was the youth apprentice group who brought something to the show and the Ballroom couple toward the end, but they were lost when asked to do the ballet numbers at the beginning of the show. I'm glad I got the tickets for free ($7 service fee) on GoldStar otherwise I would have been upset to pay $35 for this.Written on Aug 02 2010

Bland predictable and totally NOT synchronized choreography - gratuitous butt shakes were also not subtle or cute/funny. Poor lighting and spoon-fed "interpretation" of pieces. I really want to say something nice about the performance though so here goes: the participants seemed to really try hard and enjoy themselves; the young performers and special guests had actual talent; the venue was fabulous. Except for all the flamboyant men dressed in rainbow tees, it seemed like a small-town production from somewhere very off the beaten track.Written on Aug 02 2010

Description
Noted male dance troupe Man Dance Company presents its summer show, It Takes Two To Tango, which combines the energy of competitive ballroom dance with the lyricism of ballet. The Man Dance Company will be joined by by International Latin Dance champion Roby Tristan, ballroom stars Chelsea Wielstein and Eric Koptke, and many other special guest dancers. The show is comprised of several short dance pieces, culminating in the title piece, a love story that crosses gender and racial barriers.
