"Strings, tap and percussion created an explosive combination, carrying  the  audience through a journey full of stories and emotions..."

(Dansaq) Paloma vargas, El Norte, Mexico 2007 / Monterrey Forum Universal de las Culturas, NL. 

 

At first glance (or sound), string quartet music and tap dancing might seem to mix like oil and water. But in the hands (and feet) of Cuarteto Latinoamericano and Tapage at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall in Carnegie, the two art forms melted together like “buttah”.

Jane Vranish, Pittsburgh Post gazette (2008) Andrew Carnegie Music Hall, Carnegie, Pennsylvania 

 

…The imaginative and inventive performances of Tapage… The pairing of tap and contemporary Latin American classics was as successful as unusual with dancers and musicians complementing each other’s performance to create a refreshingly different evening of art…

Alice T.Carter, The Tribune review, Pittsburgh (2008)/ Andrew Carnegie Music Hall, Carnegie, Pennsylvania 

 

“ Dansaq, is an unexpected collaboration between music and dance visiting numerous styles, languages and influences with the brilliant concept of music and movement of Tapage,  and exceptional fire and interpretation of the Cuarteto Latinoamericano.

 “Great fluidity musically as well as choreographically, excellent interaction between the musicians and the dancers… 
A concert splendidly conceived and performed, with an astonishing variety of footwork rhythms.”

Juan Arturo Brennan, La Jornada, Mexico City / ( Musica y Escena Festival 2005)

 

 “Dansaq succeeded the great task of presenting light choreography, pure and completely free, to finally reach the unlikely and subtle balance between strings and tap. An almost surreal moment...”
