LETS TALK TANGO
TANGO ARGENTINO
I have been dedicated to Argentinean tango for over 20 years. If you fall in love with tango, as I did, then you will become hooked, as I have. Tango is more than a dance. There exists, within the embrace, a heightened awareness, a suspension in time and a mysterious sense of a "secret inside". There is something deep, an almost motionless, fathomless dark ocean of time.
Tango is more than you can say in words it has much to reveal and to give. Social tango is not as hard as it looks, so almost anyone can learn to dance it, although there always seems to be another challenge. It is not possible to learn all of the steps, much as it is not possible to learn all there is to life, and Tango is the great physical metaphor for life in a changing world. How you dance comes from who you are.
In my blog I am going to explore the many elements that makes up Tango as I know it…..I hope you will join me.
