Foro/Forum - SentirTango

Hi everybody,

I see a lot of people from all over the world are joining us so i am going to take the opportunity to open a very simple topic. Its richness will be in the different opinions from such a varied audience.

I would like to get people to briefly try to explain with words(i know... it might be difficult  :)) what attracts you from Tango and what do you do with that attraction... what does your body/senses demand you and what do you do to satisfy those internal demands?

I am very interested and anxious to hear you  :)

Very good question... I think that their is little music styles so profound that it can touch your very real soul. And of those styles i know only tango that can be dance.
Also it permits two bodies to mix into one single soul and that with being strangers!

Very good question...excuse me for bad english  :-[

I can "disappear" when I dance. I also love see others "disappear". It is incredeble experience. That is mystery of Tango... like where I have been??? The bandenion has also something incredeble. Only i listen to it carefully and some things happen inside me. Sorry...can´t explain  ::)

in the beginning, it is the beauty of the dance.  now, it is more of the self-expression while being led.  Immerse myself in the music and sometimes, only sometimes, for a slice opportunity, I felt like "enlighted," because of the concentration in between "existence (yao)" and "non-existance (wu)."

Initially, it was the beauty and originality of the figures, the use of stillness, the grace of movement, but soon it became more about the freedom to make each dance unique and with luck and diligence, better, more true and complete than the one before. It stirs my soul and almost always lifts my spirits.

In the arms of tango (I mean both listening and/or dancing), I had the wonderful feeling that the infinite is something that, eventhough clearly unreachable, is closer than we think ;D

I had never thought how tango could be perceived in relation to some aspects of oriental philosophy... gypsygirl: could you share a bit more of that?

I am very interested   :)

hi,

someone said it is the feeling of infinity, for me, from the oriental background, I now rather to approach tango from my own root.  For example, I will learn Tai-chi in order to enjoy more of tango. 

for me, tango can be meditative.  I am that kind of person who get into the trap of thinking too much (all the bad things about Chinese bring-ups).  Tango gives me the opportunity only to exist following some kind of order (men's lead, well...).   You forget others, only to dance and SURRENDER.

I hope the answer helps!
