SOUTH FLORIDA HEARTBEAT
FOREVER TANGO IN CONCERT ON JANUARY 22 AT AVENTURA ARTS & CULTURAL CENTER Photo courtesy of Christine Feeley
From the Shubert Theater on Broadway to stages across the nation, Argentinian cre‐ ator and director Luis Bravo brings his world‐wide hit Forever Tango in Concert to Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Friday, January 22 at 8 p.m. Renowned for its sizzling and steamy theatrical staging of brilliant orchestrations paired with two glamorous and elegant dancers, Forever Tango was called “A must see” by The New York Times. Celebrating the tango as “a feeling that you dance,” audiences will be mesmerized as stories are told through the flick of a leg, tug of the hand, tap of a foot or arch or an eyebrow. Sensuous and sophisticated, pas‐ sionate and dramatic, tender, yet violent, the music and dance reflect a culture and a
way of life. It is said that the feelings of the tango are so internal, that although it is per‐ formed in pairs, each partner dances alone. USA Today raved, “Forever Tango shows that style is more than steamy – it’s smart, even funny... a sensuous, seductive, pleas‐ ure.” Tickets are $40 and $45. Buy tickets online at aventuracenter.org; by phone at 877‐311‐7469; in person at Ticketmaster outlets or at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center box office Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and 90 minutes prior to each performance. The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center is lo‐ cated at 3385 N.E. 188 Street in Aventura. Join the conversation on Twitter at #aven‐ turacenter.
cluding software, marine equipment, en‐ gine components, fertilizers, hunting equip‐ ment, nutritional supplements, pet products and others. In addition, the firm manages a substantial portfolio of trade‐ mark registrations in the U.S. and in over 60 countries. In copyright matters, the firm has briefed landmark cases to the U.S. Supreme Court and drafted complex international agreements. The firm’s extensive back‐ ground in software and Internet matters al‐ lows its practitioners to understand how best to register related copyrights in order to obtain necessary protection for its clients. Because of its location in South Florida, the firm is well‐versed in interna‐ tional issues including cross border mat‐ ters, multinational litigation, offshore
corporate structures, overseas registration and enforcement in devising strategies for its clients. For the fifth year in a row, World Trade‐ mark Review ranked the firm as one of the best trademark law firms in the world, one of only six law firms in Florida to receive this honor. The firm is a member of the Na‐ tional Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) and its In‐ tellectual Property Practice Area Commit‐ tee where it helped develop a unique Collaboration Agreement that provided a novel model for legal services in the intel‐ lectual property field. The firm is also a member of the American Intellectual Prop‐ erty Association (AIPLA) and the Interna‐ tional Trademark Association (INTA).
