Ballet Builders Keep Building / Attitude Magazine
Salim Gauwloos, who like Hughes has training and experience in theatre, dance and film, presented a likeable and theatrical piece where perhaps the narrative was too clear. In Two Steps Ahead Janelle Abbott and Vanessa Hylande articulated the flowing syncopation of the choreography to the tango inspired music of Astor Piazolla. Trying to modernize the image of the macho man, Gauwloos had a playful scowl as he appeared angry even though both girls were under his spell. In the end they both walk away from him, perhaps tired
from his blazing energy and continuous turning, pulling, and demanding look.

Salim Gauwloos also dances exceptionally in the evening's opening dance, his tango-style Two Steps Ahead to Astor Piazzolla. He loves and leaves first Janelle Abbott and then Vanessa Hylande, who takes to the tango superbly but nevertheless is thrown out into the wings by Gauwloos. He ends alone hanging his head, but instead of pitying him we can't help but gush over his impressive, expressive dancing. The choreography is familiar except for the fine flourishes in his own performance.
