Hips Don’t Lie Hips thrust forward in provocative promenades. Steamy, closed embraces. Devastatingly dramatic dips. One is definitely the loneliest number as dancing duos adopt sultry attitudes in this weekend’s I Tango, a sizzling ode to the Argentinean dance form and its music. The acclaimed Fabio Hager Sextet produce scorching syncopated rhythms in concert, then act as a live orchestra for three sets of top tango dancers: the smoldering Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo, the fiery Romina Levin and Claudio Villagra, and the playful Enrique and Guillermo de Fazio (aka Los Hermanos Macana). Saturday night’s milonga (dance party) is a surefire hit. Is it getting hot in here?
