How I discovered Tango... 

As a kid, I wanted to be a ballet dancer but my Mom just laughed at me and said, 

- hey, look at yourself, look at your ears. They are sticking out. You can never be a ballerina with the ears like that.But all I really loved was dancing. Despite the ears. I got hooked on partner dancing. Competitions. Team performances. There was only one problem - you needed a partner. There was also a second problem

 - you needed a good partner. Then something amazing happened...One day I got invited to the Argentine Tango class. I told them I knew nothing about tango and they reassured me, "that's ok 

- you just follow. "The 'just follow' experience was quite unique. Let me tell you why.I was used to the classes and instructors giving ladies steps, then gentleman steps, repeating it many times and eventually trying to do it together on the teacher's count. If someone missed the class, they were lost. That's why looking for a partner was such a daunting task. But Tango was different. It was based on improvisation and communication. I had never taken a single Tango lesson before 

- yet I was dancing. Nobody was counting! Yet, my partner and I both floated to the music.At first, I thought 

- oh wow, this guy is really good. I did not want to change partners, but eventually, I had to. And to my surprise, the next leader was just as good as the previous one.The embrace was also different. Instead of a stiff ballroom frame 

- we were hugging. Embracing each other and moving in unison like we knew each other and had been dancing with each other for years. I was in love!

That was the beginning...And now, I get to share my love of tango with students around the Boston area and far beyond through our online offerings. Tell me in the comments...How did YOU discover tango?

Focus on Technique: Turns The turn in tango is often referred to as the “giro.” The turn or giro is defined as a turning step or figure. In comparison to a pivot and torsion: performing a turn isn’t so much about twisting the body but simply moving around one’s partner or changing direction. Directional turns can be used at any angle, regardless of whether this angle is big or small. From a basic figure, leaders typically take a step forward, but they need to step around their partner if they want to change the direction. Want to refine your Tango techniques?

Many of our clients are introverts. Tango is the perfect dance for them! Much of Tango is danced in a closed embrace. Outer expression matters less, and this closed embrace offers a physically intimate and inwardly oriented space for the dance conversation between a couple to begin - this is where Tango gets its name for being the most introverted of all dances. The aim is for the embrace to be a source of non-verbal communication for the couple through muscles, breath, and gestures while making them vulnerable to share with one another. Are you ready to start honing your Tango skills? Our Tango Secrets Guide is a great place to get started. You'll learn techniques that will make your lessons more effective. It gives you the foundation you are looking for so that you can dance with confidence. https://bit.ly/F_LearnTango
