The plot of "Burning Tango" is not complicated, the audience does not have to bother with the relationship between the characters and the development of the plot, they only need to follow the dancer's flying skirt to experience the resentment, attraction, chasing, hesitation, and throbbing emotions in love.
As a dance form, tango has a unique way of artistic expression and emotional transmission, which can express the complex emotions and desires of human beings through body movements, postures and cooperation. At the beginning of the dance drama, 5 pairs of men and women appeared on the stage, and they began to test their hearts with dance, or snuggled up to each other and whispered, or they were jealous and a folding fan was fanned back and forth on their fingertips.

When the heroine slowly walked onto the stage through the audience in a goose yellow dress, the original relative balance was broken, and several men vied for a heart, while the heroine flowed gracefully and freely like a flowing liquid through each of the male dancers who cooperated with her. And as the male protagonist jumped to the stage in a white shirt, the story of the hero and heroine began, confession, entanglement, and love, and the audience's hearts also followed the ups and downs of the plot, sometimes happily swaying with the rhythm of **, and sometimes nervous for the repeated love between the two.

If the first half of the show is a gorgeous and passionate dopamine color, the second half is an elegant and mysterious black, purple and intoxicating gold intertwined, and the actresses changed five or six gorgeous looks throughout the audience, with winding, spinning, and lifting, which is dazzling.

It is worth mentioning that in the whole performance, there is almost no stage beauty purely based on lighting rendering, and the singing part of the actor when he confesses his love is even a cappella, but the charm of love has not diminished at all, and whether it is a group dance or a solo dance, the actors' performances are smooth and silky, without a trace of mud and water. At the end of each dance segment, the audience couldn't help but applaud, and at the curtain call, they lingered and spontaneously applauded and shouted.
