Connect With Joy
Elodie’s story!
In March 2013 I clicked “going” to an intensive Tango weekend for beginners on a Facebook event.
My first impression was that it was very relaxing to be physically close to someone “without consequences”.
I will always remember the first time I felt I was leaving the current space and time dancing Tango. We were moving around the wooden floor, among the other dancers. At that time I had no idea what “mindfulness” was. We were dancing.
The Tango embrace enraptured me. It didn’t feel like my partner was leading and I was following. Only togetherness. When the last note came, I opened my eyes and … I had forgotten who my partner was… his age, name or the physical appearance.
Growing in the Gothenburg Tango environment, teaching and practicing together as a couple brings many moments that help us understand our couple dynamic and deepen our love.
Finally, I discovered the power of belonging to a community when one of our students from Afghanistan needed financial and emotional support after being deported.
