Tango can be a trip out of time and space into an energetic reality of
altered consciousness comparable to drug experiences, spiritual ecstasy,
etc. Indeed dance was used for spiritual journeys and healing by
indigenous peoples. Tango is a powerful tool in service of these same
goals.
A number of research studies have shown that partner dance generally,
and tango specifically, aids health.
The emotional dimension of tango is available to those who surrender
their thinking mind, releasing their consciousness into the music, and
emotions. Doing so requires intense trust in your own body and your
partner, because you will be moving without thought and
pre-consideration.
