Somatic Dialogue ® for Tango. The Power of Quiet

Some dances feel like effort, others feel like breathing. The difference often begins before the first step, in a quiet place we rarely give ourselves time to connect. The Somatic Dialogue ® method is a gentle way of listening through the body. Before moving, we pause. We let the floor receive our weight, release the tension we didn't know we were holding and let the body and mind meet in stillness. From there we practice listening in three directions: to yourself, to your partner and to the music in various dynamics.

No experience with somatic work is needed, just curiosity to explore what your body can sense and express. You'll leave with a way to begin each dance from stillness and let the movement grow out of what you feel.
