Tango - Music is the most important. That is why there are so many orchestras, but what is really important is not the music in itself but who is playing it, and this is the reason for the relevance of the quality of the movement and not the Figure*
We dance with the whole body thus the importance of developing our Body Expression capability based in the biomechanic movement. Everything must look/be natural, movement originates inside ourselves and is projected into the person with whom we dance - it is essential bilateral communication.
It is essential to develop and master the Technic/skill** up to a point when our muscular memory develops activity without evoking the Mind. This produces complete freedom to create and feel pleasure with the Music, this being the famous capacity for improvisation*** that all tancers look for in Tango. Welcome to the World of Tango where Framing**** the Body means to be relaxed. Only in this spirit of mind we can really and completely enjoy Tango.
* Figure - combination of movements easily recognized and repeated - "R. Dinzel - Tango - the seeking of freedom"
** Tecnique - technic/skill without emotions. It is coolness in Tango trying to dance Emotions.
*** Improvise - means plunging into our store of knowledge and use/dance the sequence that better serves the music. "We ONLY improvise what we already know. - "Gavito dixit"
**** Framing the Body - means concentrating our energy to be able to communicate while dancing. Requires energy and relax. |
