Learn tango
"Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion." Martha Graham
Everybody knows tango is a mood. But we forget about the fact that only we bring a mood in a tango dance. The mood is not only stratified at the ballroom tango, but often identifies dancing itself. The mood of tango dancing is the most important thing. It is as the inspiration for the poet, as sounded melodies in the soul of the musician. Jorge Luis Borges said: “El Tango es la directa expresión de lo que comúnmente los poetas han tratado de definir en palabras como: la creencia de que la lucha puede ser un festejo”. It means that tango is a direct expression of something that poets have often tried to state in words: the belief that a fight may be a celebration.
One day after my long discussion on argentine tango, when I tried to explain the idea of this amazing dance to my friend from the university, I was first asked to formulate the essence of tango, but summing up in a nutshell. To the question “So what is a spanish tango?” I said: "For the partner is an improvisation, for lady is an intuition." Argentine tango is creativity. And without this, even admirably performed dance, no matter how technically correct and accurate it performed, it could not become tango.
Namely intuition gives consistency. The both partners dream the dance to become a true tango. At the same time tango can be quite varied. Tango dancing depends on the energy that partner radiates and the mood that expressed in the dance.
If passion and desire it will be passionate tango, if tenderness it will be lyrical.
If sympathy and sensuality, and tangera supports it might be a funny tango game.
Jealousy and hatred culminate the dramatic tango.
Each of the hypnotic tango moods can create a beautiful by expressiveness, a unique dance. For expression of the beauty of this harmony you learn tango steps and practice them secretly every day, day in and day out. The partner task is to think of technical translating of the idea of the dance, lady partner task is not only to feel the idea of dancing, not only echo partner, but also to convey the nuances of dancing mood.
