Tango 21 Dance Theater (T21DT) uses the language of Argentine tango dance and music to tell compelling contemporary stories with live theater performances. We are made up of Chicago-area dancers, actors and musicians of all ages and perform original works choreographed and written by Jorge Niedas & Liz Sung. Our shows consist of Argentine tango dance (choreographed and improvised), Argentine tango music (recorded and live performances), dance fusion with other disciplines (ie; ballet, folk, modern, Latin dance, etc.), as well as actors with speaking roles.
T21DT strives to create shows that not only present the art form of Argentine tango, but also tell very human stories in our contemporary society. Since our founding in 2014, T21DT has produced and premiered four original shows, "El Tango Café," "Cambalache: A Holiday Story," "Feathers: A Tango Journey, " and "Sombras Tango Cabaret." In 2021, we'll premiere our fifth show "QuaranTango."
We are a growing dance theater company and as we continually expand our repertoire of works and develop our artists, we face funding challenges in general operations and production costs. Although we are excited about our future, we know that it takes a realistic approach to make it work. We need your support!
