Somatic Tango
Sense yourself first
Somatic Tango
Somatic Tango is both a method and a name that I have chosen to describe a tango that is sustainable, comfortable for both parties and based on the body's individual anatomical conditions.
When we use it as a method, we combine movements from Somatic Movement with tango with the aim of becoming present in our own body before we meet someone else. We explore how you can have a relaxed starting position and at the same time have access to being able to quickly recruit muscle tension when you want to do movements that require more dynamics in your tango.
We teach regularly as described above. Please join our mailing list via the button below and you will receive information about when the next opportunity is planned.
