Alejandro and Maria Rave also dance for the guests. They are more experienced and therefore more alluring. They met decades ago in Maria Rave's native country of Colombia while Alejandro was touring the country with an acting troupe from Argentina and Maria was a teenager. He fell in love, but Maria thought he was too old. When he returned a few years later, Alejandro was still in love and Maria returned his affections. That's how they were brought together, and their chemistry still dazzles.
Maria Rave is also a Spanish teacher at UMaine and Husson College. Alejandro Rave is the head chef at Thistles. In addition to dancing for the tango guests, he performs for them, too. He sings Argentinean songs as an experienced actor should: with dramatic flair and serious stage presence. It's captivating.
In addition to all of this, the service at Thistles is friendly, efficient and accommodating. The next Tango Tuesday is April 11. All guests need to make reservations beforehand, as space is limited and fills up quickly due to the popularity of the event. For more information or to make reservations, call 945-5480.
