Support Your Local University Tango Club! (West Coast)

These tango clubs/student organizations are the source of our new, young dancers. İ have seen the rejuvenation of the tango scene in New York and the tri-state area due to Robin Thomas's work with the clubs at Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and other nearby universities. These clubs expose young people to tango at an affordable price before they graduate and get caught up with hustle and bustle of their careers. İ encourage all tango dancers in the area to attend these festivals and support the growth of this dance, this art form, that we love so much!! If you are on the WEST COAST, I invite you to attend the Caltech Student Tango Festival on the 6,7,8 of April 2012.

Om tango te dansen, moet je omarmen.

"Om tango te dansen, moet je omarmen." Om tango te dansen, moet je omarmen. Je moet omarmen. Een echte omhelzing, met je armen, handen, borst en hart. Een omhelzing met gevoel en emotie. Ik zie veel dansers lichtjes omarmen of uit naar een kant. Ze maken excuses over de asymmetrie van de omhelzing, of hoe het hun beweging belemmert of hoe zwaar het is, etc. etc. De omhelzing is de "kaart die we aan bod" als het gaat om tango. U werkt met het niet tegen. Je bevindt je in, je verliest jezelf in het. Het bevrijdt je net zo veel als het u "hindert". Om echt te omarmen iemand is 'Para bailar tango se tiene que abrazar. " Om tango te dansen, moet je omarmen. Je moet omarmen. Een echte omhelzing, met je armen, handen, borst en hart. Een omhelzing met gevoel en emotie. Ik zie veel dansers omarmen licht, of uit naar een kant.

U werkt met het niet tegen. Je bevindt je in, je verliest jezelf in het. Het bevrijdt je net zo veel als het u "hindert". Om echt iemand te omarmen is vergelijkbaar met hen lief te hebben, en net zoals je iemand niet "halve liefde" kunt geven, kun je niet iemand die "halve omhelzing" geven.
