This is only my personal interpretation of Tango , the Rioplatense phenomenon .
Argentine Tango has grown into an incredibly luxuriant tree , a worldwide sensation that transcends borders, social status , language barriers and brings people from all walks of life together , all sharing one thing in common , the love for this dance.
On the surface , Argentine Tango is a dance where people go to meet other people , to socialize , to mingle , to mate . It's all good with all of that. The tango practitioner will encounter that to be plentiful .
One of the branches of that tree is that Tango is a tool , or could be interpreted as a tool , to keep the body young , the brain sharp and the heart alive. There are many studies and i know doctors who recommend Tango dancing and dance in general, as a supplement to treat several health issues , including depression.
Another branch shows that Tango is like meditation in movement and in company , shared meditation . A well danced Tango tanda or song , can take the dancers into a state of calmness , a peaceful communion with our own feelings. And these wonderful emotional sensations can vary and they always will , from pure love , happiness , joy , extasis and so much more . Tango has the power to transmute negative feelings into wonderful ones.
Another not well known branch is that Tango taken seriously and learning it and practicing it on a professional level makes the dancer a real athlete ,and a few of them agreed that this dance has shown them that as Yoga and kung-fu , Tango has the potential to unleash an unimaginable and transcendental awakening of the human spirit.
Argentine Tango has the potential to improve anybody's life and is truly magic.
