When I first started tango, someone told me:
“Tango IS walking. If you can truly walk well, you can dance tango.” 👣

I remember thinking:
“well…I have been walking my entire like. How hard can this be?!” 😏

Then I moved from open to close embrace and realise:
“Uuhh…that’s way more difficult than I thought…” 🤯

A few years into my tango journey, I discovered there wasn’t such a thing as THE tango walk. 😫

Nope!
🚩Because the walk changes with the music.
🚩With the orchestra.
🚩With the melody, rhythm, accents, phrasing…

And just when I thought, OK, now I finally understand it…
Someone would tell me:
💥“Push the floor more”
💥“Connect from your hips”
💥“What about your heel?”
💥“Your toes?”
💥“The inside of the foot?”
💥“And the outside?”

And that’s when I finally understood what they meant:
“If you can walk well, you can dance tango.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

❌Not because walking is easy.

✅ But because learning to walk in tango means learning to organise your body, communicate with your partner, and respond to the music - over and over again.

And apparently, I’m still not done exploring it. 😉

🎥 I’m currently preparing Embodied Tango Mechanics, where we’ll take the tango walk apart and look at what is really happening inside your body when you walk.

💬 What was the biggest “aha!” moment you had about your tango walk?

Which interpretation do you prefer: melodic or rhythmic❓
Let me know in the comments. 👇🏻

❌ You do NOT need to know hundreds of embellishments.
✅ You just need to know HOW to transform the same movement.

👉🏻 In this reel I’m dancing exactly the same embellishment every time.

🤷🏻‍♀️What changes? 🤔

✨ My body energy.
✨ The quality of the movement.
✨ The intention behind it.

A melodic phrase asks for one kind of energy.
A rhythmic phrase asks for another.

💡The movement stays the same.
♻️ The expression becomes completely different.

🎼 Musicality isn’t about collecting movements for different types of music.
👉🏻 It’s about learning how to change your body energy and quality of movement according to the musical layer you want to interpret.

🎧 Of course, before you can express the music, you first need to recognise what you’re hearing to decide what you want to interpret.👂🏻

📽️ That’s exactly what I teach inside Tango Musicality Explained:
💠 practical tools that help you hear the music and translate it into movement,
💠 not by memorizing more steps,
💠 but by transforming the ones you already know.

📩 DM me and I’ll send the direct link.

Let’s dance rather than move 💫

👉🏻Want to improve your tango connection?
👉🏻Follow for more tips!

In my 1:1 coaching sessions, I work with dancers of all levels. 💃🕺From beginners to highly experienced tangueros & tangueras.

😯 Surprisingly, they often share the same challenge:
🚩communicating and connecting through their frame.
✔️Leaders and followers alike.

Many dancers believe they’re using their frame correctly, yet a large part of the information they intend to transmit never reaches their partner. ⛓️‍💥

Simply because they’re not using their frame to its full potential. 📶

The key lies in engaging your latissimus dorsi (lats) so that your 🔸lats, 🔸obliques, and 🔸transversus abdominis work together as ♻️ one integrated system, especially during upper-body dissociation.

While this connection 🔗is often easy to find when practicing alone in static positions, maintaining it while embracing a partner and moving together is a completely different challenge. 🤯
👉🏻That’s where communication, connection, and the quality of the embrace can start to fade. 🌓

💥On top of that, an inefficient frame can contribute to unnecessary tension, discomfort, or even pain - for you, your partner, or both.💥

🌟 Share this with a fellow tango dancer who would benefit from it.

📌In my next post, you’ll find a simple exercise to help you develop the connection between your lats and your core.

Stay tuned! 💫

💬 Tell me: have you ever taken a musicality class that left you inspired... but not actually more musical?
🙏🏻 Share your experience in the comments and I will reply!

🎶 Most musicality classes teach you to understand music.
But understanding music isn’t the same as dancing music. 💃

That’s why so many dancers leave musicality workshops thinking:
“Interesting... but I still don’t feel more musical.”🤔

Here’s what I believe instead:

❌ Different music → different steps.

✅ Same step → different energy.

In this reel I’m dancing the same side step, on the same musical phrase, every time.

❇️ The only thing that changes is the quality of movement.

Depending on:
🔹what I HEAR in the music
🔹what I DECIDE to dance in the moment
👉🏻The energy becomes melodic, rhythmic, syncopated... 👉🏻while the step stays exactly the same.

🦋 Because what I realised is that musicality isn’t about having hundreds of figures.

✨ It’s about learning how to transform the movement you already have.

🎥 That’s exactly what I teach inside my online Tango Musicality Course: practical tools that you can immediately apply in your dancing—without needing more steps.

💃 Follow for practical tango musicality tips you can use in your very next tanda.

For a musical tango dancing 💫
