Discovering Better Balance: tango's essential skill
In this episode I explore the concept of balance in tango, discussing common misconceptions and highlighting the crucial role of alignment. I discuss how tango resembles controlled falling and share practical exercises for improving solo movement balance. Addressing considerations for partner dancing, I differentiate between balance and stability. The episode emphasizes developing balance through solo movements, understanding mechanics, and adapting to a partner's movements.
Takeaways
Balance is an intrinsic property of the body and can be improved through focused practice.
Alignment plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and stability.
Tango can be seen as controlled falling, where the goal is to approximate the best place to land and be balanced.
Developing balance through solo movement and exploring one's own mechanics is essential.
