TangoZen: Pursuing
Traditional Tango Beyond Steps
For decades
dancers have discovered that learning to enjoy dancing requires not
only physical but also mental disciplines. TangoZen is to
advocate and promote the traditional tango with the aid of Zen, which
teaches us to devote 100% of our physical and mental attention to what
we are doing Here Now.
Many tango dancers, for example, struggle to deal with the issue of a
follower’s anticipation of a leader’s next movements while dancing
tango. This issue can be easily addressed and resolved with Zen
principles such as awareness of presence.
The goal of the TangoZen
courses
is to help the students appreciate the
traditional tango by experiencing total concentration on the dancing
while
dancing tango. To accomplish this goal, the students in the TangoZen
courses are guided through a number of exercises, which are
fundamental to tango dance movements. The
exercises are adopted from martial arts such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung,
and meditation techniques such as yoga.
Practicing the exercises will lead the students to be attentive of
their
body and mind, to recognize the importance of connecting with their
partner, to
be sensitive to the music, and to appreciate the surroundings,
including
other dancers, while dancing. Through a repetition of the exercises
repeated over time
dancers can acquire and increase their sensitivity to balance,
connection,
centering, and groundedness, and weight shifting, all of which are
known to be critical for tango dancing.
