Why private lessons are the most effective way to learn Argentine Tango?

I told her: in your body.

In a festival, taking classes with visitor teachers, doing the moves and techniques taught in classes with other participants with whom you never danced before and may never dance again, it is infrequent that you will get anything related to connection and musicality.

Connection and musicality are the most important elements of Argentine Tango.

In any class, with a mix of regulars and random people, asking participants to connect could be out of context because, in Argentine Tango, this means to hug each other.

One time, coming out from a concert on Market street in San Francisco, a friend of mine was with his wife walking together next to each other and hugging each other. While they were waiting for the stoplight to get green to cross the street, a lady from the road came up and said that watching them, she realized that she needed a hug and asked if my friend would allow her to hug him. My friend told me that he felt distrust. He let her hug him but cautiously kept his hands on his pockets, preventing the possibility of pickpocketing.

I tell you this to approximate the feelings possibly triggered by being required to hug and be hugged by strangers.

To work on the connection required to dance Argentine Tango, you need to work with a partner you care about and who cares about you, someone you can trust, looking at their eyes and embracing them warmly.

Also, it would help if you had a knowledgeable teacher you could trust, with extensive experience dancing and teaching Argentine Tango.

Argentine Tango is profound.

The choreographic aspects of Argentine Tango become part of their natural flow, and when they embrace each other and start walking together on the dance floor at the pace of the music, it's time for them to get inspired and express the poetry that is in them.

Such poetry is beautifully happy. It fills them up with joy which generously overflows to all. This poetry tells them a few secrets about themselves, about others, about life.

Among many things, what guides me in my private lessons is the understanding that the only one able to address the complexity of the human realm is the human.

Technological seeking of efficiency has developed the robot and artificial intelligence. Humans are required to act like robots and think like computers to make the association between humans and machines successful regarding productivity.

Question: is the human hug be replaced by an artificially made hug?

Dancing Tango we show off our capacity to hug, making with it a work of art.

Our hug is visible as far as our footwork and beyond.
