I was recently asked what I thought about a new student coming to and advanced Argentine Tango class and this was my answer:
The process of learning Argentine Tango reminds me of learning math – and though I never got higher than geometry and basic calculus, it is similar in that it is a build of component understandings and functions. If you can master algebra a lot other math components fall into place, if however you never quite get a+b=c then you will struggle with even a simple x,y axis equation much less curves or algorithms.
The same applies to Argentine Tango. There are way more than steps happening in Argentine Tango .
In the end tango is seeing clearly your body in relation to itself, gravity, time and space and then its juxtaposition and relationship to your partner’s position in time and space. First you accomplish the forward lean and walk. Then you are be amazed how many movements and steps suddenly open up to you. You master a small element in posture and juxtaposition and twelve Argentine Tango steps all fall into place at once.
First you see you have to see and fully observe your own position in Argentine Tango; all the way to the discrete state of your being, recognizing all parts of your body and its appendages as you flow through space and time with the music.
Then you see your partner and respect and observe their position in its discreet state and movement all through and during movements of Argentine Tango.
These juxtapositional elements are quite complex; the dynamic relationship that we have with each other, the music, the floor, the crowd and time and space are staggering. Actually it is quite amazing that we have brains that can make these computations so easily – and here is the key word: after – after we have the muscle memory and know exactly what our own body is doing, everything gets easier.
Take heart here. There are folks in the Tuesday Advanced Argentine Tango class that have been dancing 5 to 10 years.
And there are those that regularly attend the Argentine Tango Foundation Class that have been dancing just as long.
Argentine Tango is a slow burn. Lots of reinforcement and lots of practice. I have seen many Argentine Tango instructors try but I have yet to see anyone come close to creating a short cut to Argentine Tango
Argentine Tango is a journey that will last you a life time. There is no destination and there is no hurry. Take your time, learn a good Argentine Tango foundation and praise yourself for your efforts! Argentine Tango is a worthwhile journey.
Love Light & Gratitude,
Rusty
