“Jirón porteño” by Alfredo De Ángelis y su Orquesta Típica with Julio Martel in vocals, 1946.

Julio Navarrine

Lyricist, composer, singer and actor (20 December 1889 – 11 March 1966)

He wrote a good number of tango lyrics.

In “Oro muerto” (later its title was changed to “Jirón porteño”), this singular promoter of Argentine popular music achieved a beautiful and genuine suburb vignette.

It is his most transcendent work.

Argentine Tango class on change of weight

Argentine Tango class on change of weight

Change of weight is a variation of walking.

It happens in the same place, without displacement.
 
Do at least one change of weight when you initiate your dance.
 
Do not make too many.
Make them with a calm attitude, and while dancing with your partner, this element should give a sense of calm to your partner.

A person that will rather learn Tango is looking for something profound.

In this sense, any activity competes with Tango, even smartphones.

But also they are a way to get more Tango!!!

Regarding therapy as a substitute: Tango is not a cure to your lack of emotional health, but training to keep you emotionally strong and self-reliant.

  • Tango is social: you learn and incorporate what is necessary to be in yourself to be able to engage in a creative dialog with others.
  • Tango is creative: from the social point of view, adapting to others and situations; from an aesthetics point of view, because beauty is inspiring and stimulating; and from a skill’s development point of view, because framed challenges provide a sensation of being alive and thriving.
  • Tango is developmental: your achievements accumulate, making you more sensitive, stronger, wittier, cooler, sympathetic, aware, quick, and lovely to be with.

The experience of reading a poem requires time management which is not the kind demanded by a typical business approach.

Each verse, each word in a poem is absolutely meaningful. Same as when you dance Tango.

Every single moment, each move, each emotion requires all your presence and attention.

It may sound exaggerated to someone that does not dance Tango, but when you dance Tango you are making a statement about the meaning of life at every single moment while you are dancing.

Obviously, this is not the kind of achievement that you produce by installing an app on your smartphone or purchasing a service.

That is why it needs to be clear to you that dancing Tango is not a hobby.
