Tango has always been my favourite dance. I
experienced (and very much enjoyed) my first one-to-one Tango class last Summer
while on holiday. I had to really concentrate and do as I was told, but towards
the end of the lesson, I was able to dance around the ballroom with my partner
performing a few 'Ochos' and 'Ganchos'.
It’s quintessentially ‘Latino’; a dynamic
form of self-expression, but I find it is also more elegant and sort of
‘classic’ and has greater emotional depth than many of the other dance forms
such as ‘Salsa’ and ‘Mambo.’ It is also about connecting with a partner and
creating a close and sensitive connection. I love the passion behind the dance
structure and stylized sensual moves that it demands.
