Alto Tango

Sydney's swanky and very popular Zeta Bar, nestled away in the Sydney Hilton Hotel, enjoyed its latest promotion tonight - Alto Tango.

It was standing room only as drinks and conversations flowed.

Sydney creative arts and talent agency, Human Statue Bodyart, once again assisted with the entertainment - a bodypainted model styled in a tango mode.

Ms Tango was made up in red and black, and wore a red and back hat, which sat very nicely on her long blond flowing hair. Oh, and she was kind enough to pose for photos with patrons and news media, using a red rose as a prop. Very tango indeed.

The agency also supplied a caricaturist who sketched patrons throughout the evening.

The good news is that Ms Tango will back at the Zeta Bar on just about every Friday night, most likely for a campaign that will run for over a month, so put on your tango wear and get on over to Zeta to check out the action and titillation in person. You will be glad you did.

What is tango?

The tango is a partner dance that originated in the 1890s along the Río de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, and soon spread to the rest of the world. Early tango was known as tango criollo (Creole tango). Today, there are many forms of tango extant. Popularly and among tango dancing circles, the authentic tango is considered to be the one closest to the form originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay.

Sydney- 20 June 2013 - Hilton Sydney's internationally acclaimed Zeta Bar evokes dramatic mystique with the launch of its new cocktail concept 'Alto Tango' - translation 'High Tango'. Delve into the romance and seduction of the world's only UNESCO heritage listed dance - Tango - presented with a side of Zeta Bar's friskiness.

Guests will be further immersed in the authentic sounds of Tango presented by Sydney's most renowned Tango performers, 'Fuego Blanco' guided by Maggie Ferguson - all graduates of Sydney's Conservatorium of music and The University of NSW. The traditions will be juxtaposed with Zeta Bar's resident DJ mixing 'electro-tango' beats, the ever popular body art live statue, a timeless photo booth and lively light projections.

'Alto Tango' has been choreographed by the Zeta Bar team in conjunction with renowned mixologist, Russ McFadden from Behind Bars. 'Alto Tango' seamlessly combines molecular mixology and classic cocktails.
