Tango Mending A Broken Heart

"A lot of people dance tango because of divorce," she said. "It's probably the No. 1 reason that people start to dance it. When I first fell into a tango embrace with someone with his chest against mine, I felt all the good intentions of the human heart. I wanted to dance all the time, to feel that always. When I was dancing was the only time I didn't feel bad."

Tango also taught her life lessons, about leading and following, about dominance and submission, about regaining her balance and maintaining her sense of self while moving in harmony with someone else.

Robert Duvall on Tango

If you dance a good tango it's not a meditative thing, but a quiet joy. It's not the passionate thing – jumping around – that people think. Let the music dictate what you do.

Why Do We Dance Tango?

Soak up the music, and let it get under your skin. When you move, move with the confidence and your entire body and soul. I must say, some of the best moments I have witnessed at the milongas were not necessarily performances from the big names (although those were good too! ) but middle-aged couples dancing lovingly and energetically to staccato beats of D’Arienzo!

Nice notes from BA…

The Moment We All Dread…

At last night’s class I danced with a guy who’s breath smelled like he’d eaten a bowl of dog food before leaving the house.

I haven't done a street tango pic in ages. I rather like this one.

Tango, Fear and Writing

Last week I knew absolutely nothing about the tango apart from snippets I’d seen in movies.  It looked tricky, elegant, and a whole lot of fun.  Of course it looked fun, I’d never tried it.  After my first lesson, I knew enough about the Argentine Tango to be humbly terrified.

Fear, dance classes and learning to listen in different ways. A great, compelling post.

Music Played at Milongas / Tango Social Dance Venues « Tango Voice

It is apparent from previous posts (Variation in Traditional Tango Venues in Buenos Aires) (Dancing Tango Outdoors in Buenos Aires) (Gay Friendly / Gender Neutral Tango Social Dancing in Buenos Aires ) that some part of the variation that exists in Buenos Aires tango social dance venues is the music that is played for dancing tango. The variation in recorded music that is available to be played for dancing tango at social dance events in Buenos Aires and elsewhere will be explored here. This goal here is not to conduct an exhaustive review of music played for dancing tango at social dances, but rather to identify differences and trends.
