Two Bodies, Four Legs, and One Heart - Dos cuerpos, cuatro piernas y un corazón
When two partners embrace to dance Tango, the connection has to be established and sustained throughout the dance. Zen invites us to experience Oneness by transcending all the differences separating two opposite sides. In Tango, we should have no room for Separateness, which is opposite to Oneness. Between partners, when we embrace and dance, we must strive to become One, dancing along in the Universe in harmony. Excerpt from Tango Zen: Walking Dance Meditation, Bilingual Edi

Whatever feelings and thoughts arise while dancing Tango— let them pass with no attachment to anything. Zen teaches us to open our minds and see things as they are. Be ready to let feelings and thoughts come and go without engaging them. Resist the impulse of analyzing or judging them. However, don’t push them away or avoid them either. Just listen to the music and dance. ⠀ Excerpt from Tango Zen: Walking Dance Meditation, Bilingual Edition published by Editorial Kier in Buen


The Temple of the Embrace - El templo del abrazo
Two bodies meet. From the solar plexus, energy flows outward, reaching the partner’s heart, which receives it and returns it. They move together, not following learned steps, but guided by the energy that passes between them. The music leads. The embrace is both bridge and breath, their shared intention sets the pace. Each moment is contact, each gesture, surrender. The dance does not end: it is energy, embrace, music, a journey of silence and connection. ___________________
