There are no mistakes in tango. Not like life,” remarked Al Pacino, famously in the 1992 classic, Scent of a Woman. The movie propelled the dance form to global limelight as only Hollywood can. To Kruti Gandhi and Ajinkya Deshpande of Abrazo Tango, it is the best branding the dance could have gotten, and one they hope they can cash in on during their session in the city this Saturday.
For 38-year-old Gandhi, the dance form was an extension of her foray into the art. “I learnt bharatanatyam, kathak and salsa before I even stepped into tango,” she reveals. In contrast, her collaborator, 35-year-old Deshpande, calls himself “a one-trick-pony”. “I am not a dancer. I just know how to tango,” he laughs. Returning from their recent performance at the semi-finals of the championships in Indonesia last month, they seek to show Mumbaikars a glimpse of the dance’s elegance.
