Has there ever been a time when the world has been so collectively stressed? With a global pandemic, economic worries, and restricted freedoms, there are numerous ways to feel life’s strain at the moment.
At its core, tango is a meditation of movement. It allows the body to fall into a subconscious flow by being deliberate with your movements and body. Feeling this break from reality and getting lost in dance is an incredible way to allow negative thoughts to slip from your mind – even if just for a moment or two.
