For Argentine tango dancers, the ability to establish contact with a partner plays a very important role, because without this, the improvisation characteristic of this dance is impossible. If you learn to quickly reach mutual understanding during training, do not hesitate, it will be useful to you in business management, as you will be able to better understand clients, colleagues, subordinates.
During the milonga, the dancers, as a rule, do not invite partners, coming up to them and offering a dance. No, contact is established with just one glance. The man catches the eye of the woman with whom he would like to dance, even if she is far from him, and waits for a reaction. The lady can look away or, on the contrary, "accept the invitation." Girls also often "invite" gentlemen.
The right hug helps to establish contact. It is with him that the dance begins and it is he who should certainly learn as one of the foundations of Argentine tango. A man should hug a woman tightly so that she can lean on him and so that he can support her at any second. At the same time, you need to hold the lady gently, without hindering her movements and, of course, without causing her discomfort.
A woman, in turn, should hug her partner so as to feel his every movement, understand his intentions, determine exactly how he leads her and how he wants to make their dance. At the same time, the dancer should not forget about her balance and convenience. Do not worry if you do not manage to find "your" hug right away: in time it will certainly be possible to do it.
Music will also help you connect with your partner. Thanks to her, you can make the dance passionate, gentle, romantic, touching, impetuous, slow. However, it is important to understand that music should not guide your every move. The task of the dancers is to understand not only their own attitude to the melody, but also how its partner feels. It is music that can help you tune in to one wave and make the dance more beautiful and harmonious. The melody will make you forget about learned movements and standard combinations. Thanks to her, you can create your own unique dance.
It’s important to get all the unnecessary things out of your head in order to achieve perfect contact. This skill will certainly come in handy in dealing with clients, business partners, bosses and subordinates. The task of the dancers is not only to "catch", but also to maintain contact, to keep it for the entire duration of the dance. To achieve this, you need to focus on your partner, on a short "romance" and forget about everything that might interfere with you. It is very important not to fall into the trap and overdo it. Of course, you should pay maximum attention to your partner, but at the same time you need to manage to follow the situation around, the music, other dancers, etc. Otherwise, you risk hitting someone or accidentally hitting the wall.
Don't worry, as you learn how to connect with your partner, you will eventually be able to keep track of everything at once and dance easily and naturally. So it is in business: you can pay maximum attention to the interlocutor with whom you are discussing business issues, and at the same time monitor the situation around so as not to miss important details.
