A compass to explore social tango through feeling.

No steps, no feet directions.
Just Agency listening to Embrace listening to Music with awareness of La Ronda (the others around us in flow)

For years I've been sketching what I felt – how I ultimately learned how to love this dance. The body knows more than our brains. After innumerable iterations... this model I love. It is finished and can also never be finished... open texture...

how does it resonate with you?

After many years finally have realized a compass for how I’ve been able to understand and guide social tango without defining (“open texture”) it into a box. Tango es vida.
