Trust me as a teacher:
“Do you realize that you humanize bodies?”

DANCING TANGO IS AN ADVENTURE, IT WILL TRANSFORM YOU... WHETHER YOU like it OR NOTThat transformation can be slow, like that of a drop piercing a rock. Or swift as a tsunami. The speed and intensity of it will depend on these factors:
Tango has the great power to show our personal way of being, living, and relating to others: strengths and weaknesses included. It does it in such an obvious way, that... you can not look the other way. And the direct consequence of that self-observation is change. |
Most of the dancers feel that their Tango is mediocre and live the practice with insecurity about themselvesTango is pleasure and enjoyment. Even so, the reality is that it will also reflect aspects of yourself that are not pleasant to see. We also live in a society submerged in ignorance, unconsciousness, an excess of ego, and this is reflected in Tango as well. So the environment can also be a challenge. Anyway, let me tell you that the main responsibility for you feeling like this, has to do with the pedagogical approach you have received. |
The cause of this displeasure lies in:
|
1) Weak foundations The only way to raise your dance level is by working on the base over and over again, always more deeply. This job can be seemingly boring.
When a school has commercial purposes, it will tend to avoid that "boredom" and instead propose you movements that your body is not prepared for. And what is even more harmful, it will take your attention to accumulate figures, instead of teaching you the wonderful simplicity of walking together correctly. |
2) Limiting beliefs Countless beliefs, dogmas and opinions circulate, limiting your dance and development. The level of bad information in the sector is serious, and the exercise of critical thinking is scarce.
How about we tear down one of those beliefs right now? They talk to you about conversation, but then they teach you to monologue. Improvisation is possible, only on the basis of parity of roles. The female role can also propose. The male role also has to listen. The key is that both listen to each other and respond in an assertive and effective way to the conversation they are having, to the musical stimulation, and to the vicissitudes of the dance floor. |
3) Low awareness The higher your level of consciousness, the more authentic, organic and effective your dancing will be.
Understand how to use your body to communicate, how to adapt it to each circumstance, and be able to be comfortable in every hug. Search and explore qualities of movement to express yourself. And when you think you have mastered the movement, you realize that you need to know how to return to stillness. Because to dance well the Tango, you need to find stillness. A stillness that goes beyond standing still. |

LET ME protect YOUR PATHMy name is Amparo. In Spanish, it is a noun that means refuge. That I would dedicate my life to dance, I knew before I started talking. This adventure that I am proposing to you, I have experienced firsthand.
Being a witness to others' processes is an enormous privilege. Because my childhood dream was to be a dancer, but I am a pedagogue by vocation. I believe that learning tango dance triggers a process of self-knowledge and personal development. That promotes the development of a society where men and women share, exercising their responsible freedom, from parity, complicity, and reciprocal support. I show you all the popular wisdom of this dance. Wisdom, that, has nothing to do with erudition. It deals with much more profound knowledge, based on the ancestral, primordial essence of the human being that you can experience on your own body. And starting from there you may implement a way of living in a more humane, loving, and conscious way. |

"... You know, I mentioned to her, I told her about you. About a new light that you gave me, borrowed, and turned on to illuminate the steps of my Tango. About the energy, about the knowledge of the experience that you have given me. About the new deeper look that you have revealed to me. She says that you have deranged me, destabilized me, and moved me from my certainties.
IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED, WHAT LOOKING FOR, WISHED: TO GET OUT OF THE KNOWN, FROM THE SAFE, which then was and is so little, mediocre, neglected: to be able to see, peek, scrutinize peaks or depths only imagined, understand their true nature, consistency, difficulty... seeing and understanding how much we have moved away from the essence of Tango, from its deep secret, from its intimate authenticity. You just started Amparo, your work with me! There is not a day that I don't remember a frame of our meeting, of my trip (and what a trip), the room, our class hours, and the very sincere talks. I found you too, Amparo." Giovanni PADULA |

BE STILL AND become TANGOConnect with the infinite inner space, and allow movement to arise from the vastness of silence. As the waves of the sea rise from the depths of the ocean.
