Tango Zen: Walking Dance Meditation
The book that began the Tango Zen journey.— and opening the Third Wave.

First published in 2005 — bilingual edition released in Buenos Aires in 2008.
Second Edition coming in 2026.

About the Book

Tango Zen: Walking Dance Meditation introduced a simple but transformative idea:
You can meditate while dancing tango.

​

The book explores the shared principles of tango and Zen:

  • presence

  • awareness

  • connection

  • listening

  • inner clarity

​

It shows how traditional social tango becomes a meditative path — not through performance or complexity, but through walking, embracing, and feeling.

​

Written long before “meditation in motion” became popular, this book remains the foundation of Tango Zen and the inspiration for workshops, retreats, and the documentary Tango Zen: Returning to Tradition.
