Sobre el Tango Argentino

Argentine Tango frequentemente viene associado con pasión. Al comienzo del ultimo secolo Europa fue envolvido con inmagines y historias que hizieron buena contribución a este cliché. La realdad en Buenos Aires nos deja una impression muy differente. Soavedad y comunicacion corporal es otro medio mas para expresarse en la vida quotidiana en Argentina. Un tocce busca la respuesta y escucha el feedback del otro, mostrando profondo respecto por los sentimientos de los demas. There, tango functions as a way of tender communication in general and starts with a decisive, elegant way of walking and overall awareness and physical presence in space.

These communication aspects became the philosophy of Yvonne’s teaching, that is based on contact improvisation and rational explanations with the help of modern dance, Somatic Experiencing®, Focusing and Alexander technique with Tensegrity to understand where a movement starts from and consecutively comunicating it to the dance partner. Central aims of her teaching is the synchronization of the movent of the couple, thus moving as ‘one hart with four legs’, the understanding of everybody’s personal movement charakteristics as well as achieving the sensation of awareness of your partner’s movement and the space around. Yvonneteaches tango in movement schemes that might be part of figures, though not being aimed at cognitively learnt figures.
