“Tango is a therapy that liberates the soul.” – Ricardo Vidort

Tango Coaching is a method to help dancers experience and appreciate traditional Argentina tango. MORE INFO ++

Argentine Tango is a dance of connection, uniting two partners while walking and listening to music together.  Dancing Tango is more than executing numerous steps. It involves improvisation and subtlety communicated between two partners moving as one. Therefore learning to enjoy dancing tango requires not only physical but also mental disciplines.

Tango Coaching is a method to help dancers experience and appreciate traditional Argentina tango. It provides each client with an opportunity to have an experience of being attentive of body and mind, to recognize importance of connection with partner, to be sensitive to music, and to appreciate the surroundings including other dancers while dancing.  It increases ones’ sense of concentration, creativity, sensitivity, and precision with each partner.

During Tango Coaching session, which can be 60 – 90 minutes, each client will be guided through a number of exercises, adopted from martial arts such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung and meditation techniques such as Yoga.  As a result, the client will gradually establish and sustain a keen sense of posture, axis, centering, grounding, breathing, balance, and sensitivity.  Ultimately, the client learns the connection with self, partner and music while dancing tango. The result is a total appreciation of connection with partner, both physically and emotionally, while dancing.

Tango Coaching may be summarized as follows:
- 60 and 90 minutes per session
- multiple sessions can be arranged as requested
- One-on-one sessions or couple sessions focusing on the following:
     = establishing and sustaining good connection with partner posture and balance
     = walking naturally and shifting weight clearly
     = refining movements to sensuality and subtlety
     = increasing body sensitivity
     = learning to interpret music
