| THE RUFFIAN ARMS | MANO A MANO TANGO COMPANY |
 |
 |
| In the basement at the Sweatshop in Williamsburg, five artists gave birth to the Ruffian Arms, a force to be reckoned with. They combine hard rock melodies with humorous and clever lyrics and package it with an image fully equipped with gender bending costumes that feature high-heeled boots, cheerleader outfits and tiaras. They have been described as “messy joy” by The Imagist, and their music as a “potentially lethal stew of free-flowing improv, performance art references loosely choreographed dance steps and unleashing a sonic barrage that overflowed with plenty of punk noise and bravado.” New York Magazine has said that they are a “glam (sextet) led by an Amazonian redhead……participating in band wide cheers and pom-pom fights while their trashy, punky, rockabillyesque sound kept the room bouncing along.” | A modern dance company influenced by TRADITIONAL TANGO. A fusion of styles and inspiration. They tell their story through their feet and their hearts. Mano A Mano Tango Company was formed in March 2010, when Walter Perez & Liliana Velasquez were introduced to perform at the infamous BLACK PARTY. Their passion for Tango and personal expression created instant magic. |
