Argentine tango involves improvisation, so it can be passionate, gentle or romantic. It is impossible to say what feelings partners should express in the dance and what movements to choose, because every time a man and a woman create their own unique short romance. However, there are some points to consider for aspiring dancers.
Remember that one of the most important secrets of beautiful Argentine tango is the ability to maintain balance. It seems obvious that a man in dance should not rely on a woman, because this is not only incorrect, but also spoils the beauty of the movements. However, it is important to understand that a girl in no case should "hang" on her partner, constantly rely on him, push off with force while performing some movements, etc. Firstly, this can destroy the aesthetics of the dance. Secondly, after an Argentine tango with such a lady, a man may have back pain and arms, and even during the dance he will only have to think about how to support his constantly “falling” partner. When both the gentleman and the lady are perfectly balanced in the dance, their movements are beautiful and elegant. Of course, both should be ready at any second to support the partner if necessary, but being ready and serving as a constant support are different things, and it is important to understand this.
Another important secret, which is important for participants in Argentine tango trainings, is that women and men have their own special roles that they must play. In the dance, the man leads, and the woman follows him. If the partner is too insecure, fearful and unreliable, or, on the contrary, arbitrary, inattentive to the partner, a beautiful dance will not work. The same applies to situations when a woman is overly self-confident, tries not to follow, but to lead herself, does not pay attention to the movements and non-verbal signals of her partner. Without understanding this simple but very important secret, you can spend a lot of time learning techniques and hone your skills, but still not learn how to dance Argentine tango.
Finally, an important dance secret lies in the ability to improvise. By memorizing movements and combinations, and then repeating them over and over again, while being afraid to deviate from the usual pattern, you will not achieve success in Argentine tango. Of course, first you will learn how to perform the basic elements and connect them into bundles, but you should not dwell on this. Argentine tango teachers will teach you improvisation, help you develop self-confidence and understand how you can choose the next movement in a split second and easily find the right combinations in each case.
