Mastering the Art of Argentine Tango: A Roadmap to Dance Excellence
Understanding Connection in Argentine Tango
I value dancing with those who share a common love for Tango, including students, as it transcends mere instruction, evolving into meaningful friendships. These relationships are based on mutual joy rather than obligation, a principle I emphasize when teaching the concept of connection.
Teaching in small groups or private lessons allows for personalized guidance, focusing on comfort and connection with oneself and one's partner. Every individual and couple has unique challenges and growth paths, underscoring Tango's absence of a one-size-fits-all approach.
As an illustration of profound connection, I reflect on Osvaldo and Coca Cartery's dance at the "Porteño y bailarín" milonga anniversary in Buenos Aires. The audience's familiarity with each other and the dancers showcases the deep, communal bonds within the Tango community, a testament to the essence of connection in Argentine Tango.
In my next article, I will talk about musicality. For now, I leave you with this concept:
The music is your friend too.
