"San
Francisco's Tango Con*Fusion obliterate(s) the gendered stereotypes of
seduction and suspicion that have made tango as predictable as it is
immemorial... The dancers expand on the form's traditions, proving that
it can be both intelligent and innovative - and of course, that it
doesn't always take two to tango."
- Nirmala Nataraj,
SF Weekly, December 2006

“Dancers
Christy
Coté, Chelsea Eng, Debbie Goodwin, Michelle Loughlin and Pier Voulkos... are choreographing work that expresses a new tango, a very unusual tango,
a tango that is exciting and innovative in the extreme... I can think of few companies that bring such passionate innovation to the very idea of contemporary tango than
Tango Con*Fusión.”
- Terence Clarke - The Performers’ / Artists’ Voice

"This version of tango is another
step in the evolution of one of the most extraordinary dance genres ever
created. While remaining true to its heritage, this is not the tango of
yesteryear; it is not even the tango of yesterday; it is the tango of
today. Very impressive."

“Tango
Con*Fusión... though a relatively new group, there is much potential for choreographic innovation here... Lush costumes and lighting added
to the sensuous performance style of these women, providing a rich finish to a strong second half of the Collaboration 2004.”
- Heidi Landgraf - Voice of Dance
