Because the nature of its "improvisational steps", we may experience the highly concentrated attention paid during the dance, as parallel to performing arts, music performance, yoga practices and athletic sports. One to create a master piece is when one truly loves what he is expressing and communicating. Tango is envisioned as an intuitive and non-verbal language, which bridges two souls together, completing the vacant part of another.
Striving to act and react, to lead and follow, moment by moment in tango could be a very transforming experience, as we never know what to expect in life from your partner, and so does the Argentine Improvisational Tango. Responding for the moment, and fully attending every change throughout the music, throughout the time being, have all essentialized the philosophy towards our understanding the context of the music and the understanding of our partner. It is similar to meditation, for it provides the secrete of concentration, being "at the present", while we observe the ups and downs in our lives. The only difference is that tango takes two partners to culminate the perfection at a very close relations in a very short moment, and the meditation in life expands much longer and more complex.
Through a simple signal, one partner's insight thought has to transmit to the other partner's mind, the full attention was paid and the physical sensation was magnified. As an old saying: there is no "wrong" steps in tango, but only "misunderstanding". Your hearing becomes broader, your feeling of touch becomes sensuous, your feeling of smell becomes acute and your physical body becomes highly alert, open, responsive, and yet relaxed.
However, can one tango beautifully with anyone? The question lays upon can you give your heart fully for that person for the time being? Can you also melt into the music, feel its passion, its sorrow, its longing, its pain, its humor, its rage, its curiosity, or its alluring? Can you?
