Dancing Tango Healthy, is not just an entertainment

Audio only in Spanish

Dear Tanguera,

The other Friday at the milonga, a Tanguera told me: «Dancing tango is healthy», and I took note of this comment. Tango is present in the best moments of life, but also in the most difficult ones. In moments of pain, tango saves you, helps you, accompanies you, and embraces you. The healing embrace of tango makes you feel accompanied and not alone, and it can heal in many ways: spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially. Dancing tango heals.

What heals? Who does tango heal?

Tango heals you, and you heal tango. I think it is a joint process. It is not only that tango heals you; we also give the healing power to this passionate, mysterious, intriguing, and challenging dance.

By dancing it, we give it life as well. It heals because we allow it, it heals because we open ourselves to that world and encourage ourselves to express with body and soul what is going on inside us.

How Tango Heals

Spiritual Healing: Tango has an emotional depth that allows connection with our deepest feelings. Each step, each movement can be an expression of our emotions, whether it is joy, sadness, love or heartbreak. This spiritual connection can be deeply healing.

The Power of the Embrace in Tango

The embrace in tango is fundamental. It is not just a dance technique, it is a form of deep and sincere communication. The embrace in tango is therapeutic because:

because: It connects us with the other at a deep level, beyond words.
because: It offers comfort and emotional support.
Because: It forces us to be present in the moment, creating a safe and welcoming space.

Final Reflection

Dancing tango is healthy because it allows us to open up and express our emotions through movement. It is healthy because it connects us with ourselves, with others and gives us a sense of community and belonging. Healthy because it allows us to dream, cry, laugh and feel alive.
