A word of encouragement today… we said recently that learning tango is like growing flowers… But GUESS WHAT…

Did you know that with strong feet you are able to move each of your toes separately? And that a mysterious type of feet muscles is responsible for most of the precision and sophistication we need in tango?

Let’s be honest, people watching is one of the great pleasures of tango. Sitting just next to the dance-floor, a glass of wine in hand, listening to beautiful music, and looking at the dancers. 

They say that in tango you dance with the dancer, the friend or the man/woman.

Hmmmm… Maybe….

Recently, I was discussing with a man in one of our practicas. I’d seen him a few times before, always in class or practica; He’d come once, then drop out for a few months and come back. 

Of course, the main communication point between bodies is the center of our chests. But it’s not because our chests are touching that we connect 

Nothing feels as good as warm embrace.Nothing feels as bad as a tight embrace

Ok, no. Obviously, in Tango we dance ‘together’. Two people meet, embrace, and move in the same direction, on the music. Two-gether.
