| This is how to dance the tango!
Feel the blood
Rise to your face
With every beat;
While an arm
Winds like a snake
Around a waist
That is about to break. This is how to dance the tango!
From "This is How to Dance the Tango" 1942 Words by "Marval" (Elizardo Martinez Vilas); Music by Elias Randal

"The tango is man and woman in search of each other. It is the search for an embrace, a way to be together, when the man feels that he is a male and the woman feels that she is a female, without machismo. She likes to be led; he likes to lead. Disagreements may occur later or they may not. When that moment comes, it is important to have a positive and productive dialogue, fifty-fifty. The music arouses and torments, the dance is the coupling of two people defenseless against the world and powerless to change things.
This is the best definition of the tango as a dance, I think"
--Juan Carlos Copes, choreographer and dancer

Sexy, promiscuous, and predatory the tango is a dance of sensual exchange. Its couplings and isolations are a portrayal of life’s inherent feelings translated into prescribed motions. No other dance so challenges the long standing etiquette of gender relations.
The key to the tango’s physicality is the interlace of legs and the balancing of bodies as they collide. The supposedly salacious dovetailing of the dancer’s legs makes the two figures mutually dependent and interactive throughout the dance. Tango can be merry and playful, or sinister and foreboding. The light and dark aspects of dance have been thoroughly lubricated and twisted into a powerful, passionate expression.

The Magic of Tango
They say that when you fall in love there is something Magical that happens, and I believe this to be true.
Tango is Magical in a different way, but many of the things that you feel are very similar, It is passionate, sad, violent, complex, playful, romantic, enrapturing, sensuous, elegant and much much more...
When I listen to Tango, it's with my heart first and then other parts of my body react. In the early morning I hear a Tango and can't wait for that next embrace.
When I dance Tango, eyes first, then the touch of an old partner or a new one, then the embrace of two bodies maybe looking for different things, then the touch of our faces and a strong force of magnetism between our bodies. I feel her breathing...
Even the Embrace in itself is Incredibly satisfying, Now we are ready to begin our Tango, and with each step and each movement these feelings are growing more intense.
Satisfied could never describe how I felt when it was over!
and the next one begins...
Come and Tango with me here...
