TANGO . . .
It's history . . . is a search . . . for meaning . . . in life
Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process -
and you improve the quality of life itself.

To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak.
Hopi Indian Saying

Tango allows us to express our individuality while joined with, and enjoying, another's individuality.
The magic of Tango cannot be adequately expressed verbally or in writing.
One must dance it to understand it.

Because of the physical closeness of this dance, it is possible to explore intimacy in a metaphorical
way - while pushing your own inventiveness and creativity to their limits.

The longer and the more one dances, the more your technique improves, the smoother your dancing tends to become.
You get to know the steps you are doing better, so you embody them more completely, at faster tempos, with less
than no thought... adding embellishments, going inside and beyond the so-called official dance figures and play
together, which is the true meaning of social dancing.

This can also be the most fun and inspirational part of the evening, to see how creatively we can use
the limited amount of space, or how connected we can stay with each other amidst the traffic jams
and distractions of other couples. I look at it like a comment on life itself: the more we can learn
how to dance together, the more freedom we have to express ourselves individually.

Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment -
intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality having infinite organizing power.

Tango is not about the long kiss or the deep embrace. It's about the passion of longing.
The longing for a homeland, a lost lover or a sweeter past. It hurts, deep inside, but
it makes us feel incredibly alive.
Bertram Levy

Passion doesn't come from books or even a connection with another person. It is a connection
to your own life force, the world around you and the spirit that connects us all. You are the source.
Books, work, music, people, sunsets all provide sparks - but only you can light the fire.
Jennifer James

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.
A sense of humor is just common sense... dancing.

The journey in between what you once were - and who you are now becoming -
is where the dance of life really takes place.
Barbara DeAngelis

When a man and woman understand each other dancing, simply carrying the beat, dancing for three minutes
to a music called tango - it's the closest thing to an orgasm - but sensual rather than erotic.
Juan Carlos Copes

Tango is like a fine red wine ... it only improves and enriches ... with age ..:)

All the ills of mankind,
all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books,
all the political blunders,
all the failures of the great leaders
have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.
