For some, Tango is a relationship therapist. Through the harmony of connected
movements, we teach how to improve and enjoy relationships, maintain
marriages, and increase the power of passion and love. Tango has the unique
universe of two different parts, two traditional attitudes, where a man is a
leader, and a woman is a follower. Tango is a result of one man' s personality
plus His interpretation of the music, according to his character. Every leader
creates his special Tango.

I just had a chance to finish your article, and enjoyed it very much.  I like your philosophy of tango and your
clear explanation. I did notice a few non-English-isms in idioms and word choice, but I wouldn't change a
thing. They give your charm to your writing, as an accent does to a voice. The publication is a nice one. I
cannot write with authority about tango as you do. All the best from Peggy Stamon, Editor, Tango Talk
There's nothing like a touch of tango to fire up your romantic side. The dance
originated in Buenos Aires, and Montevideo, during the late 19 century. It
derives from the fusion of music from Europe, the South      American Milonga,
with African rhythms thrown in. Tango permeated every strata of society, as it
spread from the suburbs to the working-class slums, packed with hundreds of
thousands of European immigrants

Thirteen Secret Principals of The Tango
We found the thirteen primary principles of Tango, which are the foundation of the practice  and
dance. They provide a framework for experiencing fitness as a personal growth during Tango
learning lessons. They are the tools you use to get fit, stay healthy, and make lifestyle changes.
There are special tools to dance elegant tango, even for a social purpose. Take the time to become
physically intimate with each principle, and your Tango practice will soar to new heights...
Principal # 4. Improvisational Tango. It comes only after students have learned some specific
combinations, structure and basic steps, and the correct techniques to perform them. Then, the time
will come to break all rules, and improvise the Tango by using these combinations, trying to create
your own unique dance. ONLY then anything goes, movement - wise. Free dance allows us to let
go of the structure. The Free Dance system is an eight-stage movement process that stimulates
creativity.
Principal # 13. Dance What You Sense. When students understand that Tango/life should be lived
through sensation, only then they experience the primary lesson of it, and they become connected.
When they feel the precious present moment, then they understand, feel and agree that dancing
enjoyment releases endorphins, improves strength and contributes to longevity.

Argentine Tango is a passionate and intimate dance. Since the 19th century, Tango has been a dialogue
between partners, a way to create living art, and a dramatic form of communication through movements.
Also, we found that tango is very close to the ancient art form,
TAIJI QUAN (Taichi Chuan or TaiChi),
dating back to the 8th century... It consists of graceful, continuous movements combined with breathing
control in order to promote relaxation, balance, flexibility, muscle tone, and coordination while
improving participants' overall physical and mental agility. TAIJI QUAN is based on traditional defensive
and offensive techniques.
This is bringing us to some moves and positions in tango and their roots. The dance was born from the
combinations of many cultures and their folk dances.  We can see clearly, that one of the main influences
came from Italian Fencing.  This is how the 2 main positions of tango were danced: stop or parada and
cut or сorte. Similar to Tai Chi, tango focuses on developing a relationship with your smooth, slow dance,
as a walking meditation.
As in Thi-Chi, Tango Walk comes from a lower center of gravity in the body, called the tan-tien.  It is
located two inches below the navel in the center of the pelvis.  Learning how well you can move from this
center, while walking forward as a whole block, will develop sensory awareness and a nourishing energy;
some relationship between your body and the world around you.
Our special tango exercises with a balloon between the foreheads of a couple, rings on the floor and
shawls in the air involve circular, elegant and soft movements, reminiscent of swimming in water. This
fluidity gives definition to the body without the use of external weight and slowly and gently increases
your range of motion. Coordinating arm, eye, and hand motions with the whole body creates graceful
systematic movement without causing strain to the skeletal system.
When our students are learning to Speak the Language of Tango Dance, they learn through some special
exercises, steps & techniques, how to build flexibility and strength.
Tango is a very intellectual and spiritual dance. Therefore, before coming to a Tango class, every person
needs to prepare some available space inside his mind.  
The Tango special exercises that we give at the beginning of each lesson move our students through
several cycles or stages of learning process.  
Each stage is designed to deliver specific results. While the basic moves remain the same, the students
experience changes based on how they adjust the focus, speed, intensity, and overall intent. The ability of
students to remain aware and responsive to their body's ever-changing needs will enable them to receive
maximum benefit from each tango lesson with us, even though some would think that we repeat the same
all over again...
