Experience
{1988} Handbalancing


As Eric Varelas and Amelie Demay (barely out of their teens) prolong the slower tempos of the tango to the breaking point, the tension rises, drawing the audience closer and closer into the circle of magnetic attraction that connects the two young performers.

Theirs is a world of passion, of perfect yet unspoken communication, of two bodies and mind moving, feeling and thinking as one. Yet their style is anything but pretentious, and their execution is imbued with a dual sense of self-assured elegance and total vulnerability that gives true meaning to the words "Grace and Balance".

When we watch these two performers barely out of their teens we are not just beholding a brilliant display of acrobatic skill. Eric and Amelie actually reveal themselves through their medium-and judging by audience reactions everywhere the spectators definitely get the message.
