Two-time Dancing with the Stars champion Cheryl Burke will star in a limited engagement of Luis Bravo’s Forever Tango, at the Marines Memorial Theatre in San Francisco, December 21 – January 9, followed by a Los Angeles engagement at the Saban Theatre, January 14-16.

Created and directed by Bravo, Forever Tango fuses music and dance with vignettes to trace the tango’s colorful history, from its beginnings in turn-of-the-century Buenos Aires bordellos to its acceptance into high society. The dances, performed to original and traditional music, are the result of collaboration between each couple and Bravo.

The cast includes 14 world-class dancers, a vocalist and an 11-piece, on-stage orchestra, anchored by the bandoneón, the accordion-like instrument that is the mainstay of tango music.
