What does tango have to do with spirituality, and you?
“Love one another without any expectations. Then there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.” -Ammachi
Dance is a poem. Each movement is a word – Mata Hari
Do you love dancing? Would you love to change one aspect of your life, shift your life and invite miracles?
What if your answer is not in examining the problem but learning something that is created in Universal Principles!
Movement in your Body with an extraordinary teacher and extraordinary music can change your life!
There is a close link between dancing and spirituality. I think that one dance, in particular, is closely aligned to Zen.
That’s Argentine tango. To dance the tango you have to abide in mindfulness.
The moment a tango dancer falls out of mindfulness into thinking,
the connection to the dance and to one’s partner is broken. It’s like falling out of heaven with a thud!
There is an interesting book by Chan Park, called Tango Zen. In it, he traces the connection between tango and Zen.
When we dance we tap into deeper patterns of the universe and link to life’s vital energy.
That is why dance is one of the ancient ways of connecting with the sacred and dance forms part of the ritual for many spiritual traditions.
These days, dance has come back into my life. 
“This is love: to fly towards a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.” -Rumi
Anibal Troilo famously said, “They say I left my neighborhood, when I am always returning to it…” Much the same way, I thought I had left Buenos Aires, but I am always coming back to it every time I step onto the dance floor.”
Tango teaches commitment, consistency, working, striving and keep moving forward!
We dove into to dance and story!
We created our steps to this story:
There is an old legend that king Midas for a long time hunted the wise Silenus, the companion of Dionysus, in the forests, without catching him. When Silenus finally fell into the king’s hands, the king asked what was the best thing of all for men, the very finest. Silenus remained silent, motionless and inflexible, until, compelled by the king, he finally broke out into shrill laughter and said these words,
‘Suffering creature, born for a day, child of accident and toil, why are you forcing me to say what would give you the greatest pleasure not to hear?”
“The very best thing for you is totally unreachable: not to have been born, not to exist, to be nothing. The second best thing for you, however, is this?—?to die soon.”
“The Birth of Tragedy: From the Spirit of Music”. By Friedrich Nietzsche. Chapter 3.
