A Tango Lesson

E-mail Print PDF

Our tango teacher Walter Gonzalez is from the new generation of teachers from the Susana Miller school and "Gurí" comes from the Cacho Dante school.
Susana Miller with Cacho Dante took care to study and figure out a way to teach the tango that was danced on the dance floor (Milongas) for decades.
The tango is a feeling that is danced. That's why it is not choreographed, though it can have sequences, like all feelings. You can dance love, rage, happiness, pleasure, every mood. The tango is not a dance to demonstrate ability but rather an interpretation of feeling. It is not just moving your feet and posturing. The tango is Argentine, but it belongs to all those who understand its feelings and its codes.

Guys, to dance tango, you must listen to the heart of the woman.          Cacho Dante, November 1998. Milonguero de Buenos Aires.

We hope you enjoy this video of Walter, dancing with our guest and friend, Bettie.
