- Every relationship is a DANCE, every dance is a RELATIONSHIP. How to create both full of grace and ease IS the quest of LIFE. - by Ilona Glinarsky
No matter what may have brought you to Tango, you are about to embark on an exciting journey…This journey is not only about learning what is considered the most romantic and passionate dance of all dances, it is going to take you much deeper, way beyond steps and dance routines. Tango is about self-discovery, about learning the true meaning of partnership on the dance floor and beyond, about re-framing our preconceived ideas of “masculine” and “feminine” interaction and, above all, Tango is about discovering true CONNECTION and PASSION.
Argentine Tango captures us as we first hear a melancholy chord of bandoneon, the moment we observe intimate embrace of two partners moving as one. It triggers nostalgia and ignites passion, making us long for more.
Many discover Tango by watching a great stage performance, a TV show, a movie or just taking a class that introduces them to a few basic dance steps. Many others seem to stumble upon this dance, realizing later that it was no coincidence after all. Those who hopelessly fall in love with this dance claim that Tango found them and changed their lives forever. As our exploration into the world of dance continues, Tango starts growing on us, captivating all our attention and challenging us in ways we didn’t expect. It takes us through the ups and downs of the learning curve, teaching us how to truly connect, how to surrender our need to control and anticipate, but even more then that…it opens up a door into the world of emotions deep inside and gives them room to play and room to breathe. Tango ultimately allows us in the space and the safety to hang our heart out on the line, if only for a few moments, and dance “like no one’s watching”.

Hi I am a salsa dancer by nature, meaning that I love salsa not to mention was born in Puerto Rico and raised in the USA. I can’t wait to learn how to Tango. Just watching this video makes me feel the passion that Tango represents! Laila
Dear Laila! Thank you for your sweet comment. You should consider learning Tango. If you are drawn to it, then it is calling YOU! If you are in LA, I will be happy to direct you to a nice instructor depending on the area you live in.
Best,
Ilona
Bobby Lyle: Dancing is a lot like life. The more you approach it with energy, imagination, a spirit of in-the-moment-ness, and fearless passion, the more you’re gonna get out of it!!
Hi Ilona, I am sure many of my HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons) would really get into Tango!
All the best, Jim
Well, I figure if it appealed to one (ME), it will probably appeal to many other HSP
After all, we are all about FEELING things on a deeper level.
Will look forward to more communication on the topic…Ilona
