How can you dance tango without legs? Come
and experience...
Asked what Zen is, one Zen master replied: "Zen is chopping wood
and carrying water". Learning from this Zen master, my
interpretation of tango is "hugging
one's partner, walking together,
and listening to music". Simple enough. As we all know, however,
it is
not as easy as it sounds to do these simple things to appreciate tango.
The goal of the TangoZen
workshops is to expose the participants to a number of exercises that
may lead them to mindfulness, a state of full awareness of oneself,
one's partner, and the surroundings.
The exercises, adapted from martial arts, meditation techniques
and sports, involve participants' physical discipline as well as full
attention. As a result, through the exercises repeated over time, tango
dancers may acquire and/or increase their sensitivity to balance,
connection,
centering, groundedness, and weight shifting, all of which are known
to be critical for tango dancing.
