Dance Classes

TEACHING PRINCIPALS:

I am making a special emphasys on understanding the structure of the dance, walking techniques,
learning how to feel and control your own body. I promote tango primarily as a way to connect
with another person and to learn how to be a partner.

TANGO BY MIGUEL ZOTTO (Argentine Tango Legend):

It means nothing to execute a lot of steps with the woman just having to follow you.
If a guy is cold in life, he'll be cold in dance.
The tango is like an art in real life; it's the character in each of us; it's the "ensemble" of life,
reflecting all its idiosyncrasy.
. . . tango is not a fashion, but an addiction, a drug, and as such, the more you are exposed to it,
the more you become an addict.
The tango is a reflection of what one is in life.
Tango is about feeling and sensitivity, otherwise you are just doing gymnastics.

OLD MILONGUERO EXPRESSIONS:

Tango = 4 legs, 2 bodies, 1 heart. Tango is danced with your heart, not with your feet.
Dancing tango steps is not dancing tango. Dance as if nobody is watching.
Technical clumsiness is forgivable; emotional sloppiness is not.
