NeoTango Rage 2020 I was invited to teach at the Australia NeoTango Rage 2020, which after being cancelled got resurrected as an online open event with themes for posting through the weekend. I have attended many neotango events, but the wording attached to the themes of this event forces me in a way that I don’t like. NeoTango [...]

Neo Tango Australia 2020: Online Participatory Event Starting 22.May the Australian Neo Tango Festival will do a special online version. The idea is pretty cool which is that they have transformed the schedule into themes and asked everyone who wants to participate to post contributions on that theme during the timeslot. I have re-written their schedule adding the time zones around the [...]

Distance: What have you learned about tango by not dancing? In this Distance from milongas, I dance alone with the ocean. What are you doing and how are you feeling about tango, with the perspective of some Distance? I created a workbook to help us think about this.

Tips for teaching your first tango class I believe that many dancers will return from the Distance with a renewed care for our community and a desire to rebuild it with great love. I believe many people will be inspired as never before to share the gift of tango, feeling now perhaps more than ever before the preciousness of gathering, and embracing. Indeed my student Josh is already preparing a class for his community, a clean and sober gym. We had a conversation about how to think about teaching, and this post contains my notes:

An unethical industry? The purpose of the codigos is to protect egos from rejection. But what goes missing when that is the only system we have? What indeed is social, and what social dimensions of tango require care? Let us consider what we can do about that when we return.

Muscle.Fashion.Imagination As a gift during this sheltered pause, I've created a free video series, Fashion Tips for TangoMen and Milongueras and Muscle Training to come back to tango stronger than ever.

Relief I need to tell you that I am feeling tremendous relief about having a break from tango.

How to work at home I've worked at home for 20 years. For folks who are new to it and for those unable to work who are and are abruptly faced with the rather uncomfortable opportunity to move forward on your dream projects, here are 15 tools for Discipline, Self-Awareness, Improvisation, and effective Contemplation.

Retreat is an aperture Indeed interruption is part of the history of tango. During the dictatorship, tango became a family and home practice. It's really not all about milongas. Let us welcome this pause as part of the dance, a needed disruption of rhythm, part of a more complex one.

Tango is not a place for aggression The video proclaimed "if you dare to move your legs (or to enjoy the movement of your lady's legs) you deserve to be restrained and to suffer." And it had the intended effect which was to intimidate even the best dancers in the Wellington community from executing certain movements.
