Whats so special about Tango as a dance?
Any tango dancer will bend your ear for hours on this one. Tango is a dancer’s dance. For instance, ballet dancers never die.. they just move to the tango. The freedom of expression is virtually limitless. And yet, in its essence, the tango is as simple as a walk — together. The dance only defines some basic principles about how two people can move relative to each other in space. After the “lead / response” sensibility is understood, the rest is a journey of exploration into your ability to express yourself with a partner to music you both hear. The tango requires a connection between partners that is in addition to anything they may be experiencing physically. In other words, other forms of dance rely on frame and tension to maintain a physical connection between partners. At it’s best, the tango turns every beat of the music into an interaction that requires movement of each dancer independently in response to the suggestion of their partner.
