What is dancing and why do we feel so at home when dancing?

Civilization has required the silencing of our bodies. Where, otherwise, would the indeterminable complexity of our anatomy would fit? A great split was initiated: the spirit manifested in words and our bodies went on to construct civilization. Words are easy to control: “Don’t say that!”. On the other hand, how does one prohibit certain moves? The entire body was proscribed from expression, there, where the influence of those who negate themselves could reach. Condemned to build, the slaved bodies danced in their creation of steel and concrete, through the machines they invented, with the technology they deliver to us. 

Now, we have accepted their invitation…

Dancing is the highest wisdom.

It is a philosophy of acceptance, not from the resignation of weakness, but from a strength developed in yourself by means of studying and training with courage and love for life.

You will dance only if you appreciate the value of dancing.

Blas Catrenau

He started dancing tango in his early youth among other young men at the practice studio of Crisol and Verné. At the early ‘90s, he started organizing “milongas” himself. From 2003 to 2009 he leaded “La Milonguita”, one of the most famous “milongas” in Buenos Aires. 
In 2002 he won the First Metropolitan Tango Championship in Buenos Aires.
In 2003 he obtained the Tango Teacher degree released by Buenos Aires City Government. He was then authorized to teach at the Centro Educativo del Tango de Buenos Aires (CETBA), created by Masters and Dancers Gloria and Rodolfo DINZEL. 
His passion for dancing as well as the harmony he shares with his partners, and the gracefulness of his movements, capture and celebrate the essence of traditional TANGO.


Luciana Guido

She was Blas’ dance partner for several years. She was born in Buenos Aires. She studied with maestros milongueros and then techniques for women with many tango teachers. She taught at the “Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires” and for a year and half, in Paris. Much of her international career as a teacher and dancer was developed in Europe. Due to her interest in popular culture, she took the postgraduate course “Social and Political History of the Argentine Tango” (FLACSO Virtual, 2014). She was recently co-director of the thesis “Barrio de tango, luna y misterio …”, based on the relationship between the neighborhood and tango lyrics.
