| Tango Quotes When
you undertake to dance the tango you become ready to move beyond
life’s fears. You acquire a way to celebrate life’s
romance. You dance of dreams: of passion, tension and release, frustration,
conflict, separation from home and loved ones, and of resolution.
You dance of your destiny in the making.
| On women developing
in the Tango“…”You must certainly follow
the rules of tango. Follow the technique you learn and follow
the man’s lead, but try to move like yourself. The form
of movement should be absolutely personal with it’s
own dynamics and its own expression. It is also important
for a woman learning tango to learn to perceive the man- to
be able to follow him in every way: in each pause, in each
breathe. Let yourself be led, and let yourself be filled with
the music to be able to interpret it.”

“A good
Tango dancer is someone who has rhythm and who has a good
musical ear. He also has to respect the woman to know what
to do at the right time with the right partner. He adapts
himself to the woman . He makes her feel that she is the best
dancer. He dances for her.If he can execute complicated figures
gracefully he is good. But as long as he can dance in harmony
with his partner then he is
an excellent dancer.”

“When someone begins
he can be dazzled by things that are external; the things
of Tango are internal… A dancer arrives at the roots
of the Tango when he falls in love…”

“A good dancer is one
who listens to the music…We dance the music not the
steps. Anyone who aspires to dance never thinks about what
he is going to do. What he cares about is that he follows
the music. You see, we are painters. We paint the music with
our feet..”

When you dance with a partner
you are close and the dance is very suggestive, but it is
not personal…“Close is what the music inspire
you to become. The embrace looks personal, but what we are
actually embracing is the music.”
- Carlos Gavito |
“I think those who say
that you can’t tango if you are not Argentine are mistaken.
Tango was an immigrant music... so it does
not have a nationality.
It’s only passport is feeling..”

“the wealth
of a tango couple resides in that they both contribute to
the choreographic creation. The improvision , the emotion
that each feels which is materialized in steps.. It is ideal
when both partners contribute what they feel to the music.”
