I would love to tango. And it’s just a recent thing. I guess it happened when I turned 35. I began to feel more self confident, more sexually secure in my own skin. Empowered. Alive. I never got the chance to take lessons during that time (was too busy with other things…) but after taking dance lessons for my wedding (foxtrot is a restrained, civil yet tongue in cheek kinda sexy dance), i began to feel the need to move my body with the music in a way that it would allow me to glide across the floor effortlessly. When I was in Cuba, it was Salsa. The fiery latin rhythms and swinging hips/torso motion also made me feel sensual in an energetic furious way. I may have to go it alone, but who knows. My new hubby may surprise me yet!

(and p.s – one of my old friends connected with her tango instructor, left her husband and apparently is quite happy with him and her tango progress ;-)

stilllifeinbuenosaires: Yes, it’s not so much in the skill of myself or my partner, though often I get this feeling when my partner is more skilled (I think that has to do with the level of confidence he has). I am thinking that the more confidence I get in myself, the less this experience (when it happens) will be overwhelming to me and the more it will be what I search for on the dance floor. In fact, I think it is what I have been searching for, but I’ve realized that I need to grow more myself to be able to experience it fully.

Funny how much of life can be summed up in a three minute tango…

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment.

I like your statement, “I see the connection between each chakra in his body and mine.” I sometimes step into a partner’s arms and I feel death and emptiness. With others I feel an open and giving heart. Although I am new to tango, I can instinctly sense who I will match with as a partner.
