The dance of tango comes to us from Argentine culture, where women are strong and men appreciate the opportunity to engage with her full energy. When we observe tango it appears that she is a passive follower, but looking deeper it is much more an active engagement than a passive following, at its best.

In learning and practicing tango we have the opportunity to come face to face, literally, with all our archetypal, relational challenges.

Indeed, one can use tango as a means to uncover a broad spectrum of personal attributes which have been hidden or unprocessed for various reasons, often unknown to us. Whatever is going on in your life, it will show up through your tango. Giselle Anne says, “You dance who you are.” Oh so true, yet I pose the challenge:

Dance toward who you are becoming, opening doors to who you actually are.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
