Connection in Argentine Tango (IMO) is dual, physical and spiritual.
The physical connection develops and improves as you learn the rich and
intricate technique of the dance.
The better your technique, the better your posture, the more precise your
movements and placement of your feet, as well as more relaxed and comfortable
the embrace.
Connection with the music is achieved by listening to it, as you listen your
understanding of the music and the rhythm becomes deeper, you start
distinguishing the different instruments and their conversation.
You may develop connection to the music without dancing; but when and if you
dance your dance will become more harmonious and relaxed.
The Spiritual connection to your partner and to the music develops as you
dedicate time to learn to dance well,
in harmony with yourself, your partner, the music and all the other dancers on
the floor. It happens slowly, with time and appear when you do not expect it.
At certain point your physical and spiritual relationship to your partner
become intermingled, she surrenders to you and you surrender to her embrace.
Then as you dance, the music and the other dancers seem to quiet down, you can
still hear the music as the floor becomes absent, you go floating around the
room, in perfect harmony till the music stops and you take her back to her
table, you have a warm, peaceful, sensation in your chest, and you know that
after a while you will be looking for her eyes to invite her to dance
again,...and she will accept with a smile .
