DISCOVER THE SECRET POWER OF TANGO AND EXPERIENCE ITS WISDOM ON YOUR SKINYour body knows more about yourself than your intellect. The master is your body, and in the case of Tango, so is the other's body.
It is there, where the secret power of this dance resides. The power to transform you, to open processes of self-knowledge, and to gift you moments of full awareness. Even if it's not in your plan. Can you imagine where this learning can take you if you did it consciously, focused on the essentials, and cleaned off superficiality?

Trust me as a teacher:
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. He 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. |
THE DARK SIDEMost of the dancers feel that their Tango is mediocre and live the practice with insecurity about themselves. Tango is pleasure and enjoyment. Even so, the reality is that it will also reflect aspects of you that are not pleasant to see. We live in a society submerged in ignorance, unconsciousness, an excess of ego, and this is reflected in Tango as well. 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 Your dance and development are limited by countless beliefs. The level of misinformation in the sector is serious, and students believe everything they listen to, without questioning or exercising their critical thinking.
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 Body awareness, both of your own body and of the other's body, is the key to an authentic, organic, and effective dance.
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 |

When it comes to dancing, really dance, the priority is to be in the present moment. In that micro-movement, which composes a broader one. Moreover, in each stillness that makes up a single movement. As if that body position were eternal.
Leaving behind the movement that was and without projecting the movement that is to come. Staying, inhabiting, and being that movement, the one of now, and just the one of now. Only in this way does the Tango, with a capital letter, flow and appear through you.
