This website is all about finding balance in your life. Sometimes we can get so occupied with work and family that we forget about our passions in life. One of my passions has always been dance. I have never actually achieved much in that area but have always enjoyed doing it.

Argentine tango

One of my favourite dances is the argentine tango. I can’t really describe what I like about it. The very special music is definitely one part of it. The music is full of drama and temperament and the many changes in speed can make it really interesting (and sometimes difficult) to dance to.

Another part is the dance itself. Also full of temparement of course but it contains a lot of style and subtle movements. The intriguing leg kicks and twirls can make it really interesting to dance and to watch a good couple dance the tango. It’s great to see a good life tango performance.

Below is a video of a show tango performance from Strictly Come Dancing. This tango will have more show elements (like lifts) than a normal tango but you will still get a sense of some of the steps and the tango music. Enjoy!

Another thing I like about tango is that age doesn’t really play much of a role in this dance. Anybody can dance it no matter how old you are. You can dance a tango as quick or as slow as you like (as you can choose to dance to a single or double beat) and the quality of the dance mainly relies on how the man (who leads) feels the music.
