OUR MISSION

At TANGO BALI CLUB we aspire to promote "Tango Argentino"; the dance and the music  to the local and international people of Bali. We are also pleased to know that in the progress of developing argentine Tango in Bali, we will be another special spice in Bali’s delightful and diverse cultural concoction.

The TANGO BALI CLUB aims also to be the centre on the tango movement in South East Asia, bringing in talents from overseas and training people of any age and in the progress producing new talents in the field of dance art.

"How do you explain this passion for tango in countries with cultures so different from Argentine culture? - Tango expresses a universal feeling; it is a dance and it is a music that transmits human emotions. And the world is shrinking distances and cultural differences don't matter anymore. During the first international tango contest held recently in Buenos Aires, one of the best dancers was German. And in Spain, at a Flamenco competition, the winner was Japanese. The world is shrinking, cultures are melting."

Tango is

an instant connection to a gamut of human emotions, from sadness to joy, toughness to tenderness, sensuality to creativity, It's a unique experience to share all these feelings through dance with an other person.

Tango is

like a sweet poison that can lead to addiction. Beware! Let it not control you

Ich tanze Tango

Nur ein Mann, der abwarten und sich ganz der Stille hingeben kann, ist ein guter Tänzer. Der mir das Gefühl geben kann, mich nur höchst ungern loszulassen. – Erfahrungsberichte aus dem tönenden Alltag (4)

 

„Der Vorhang öffnete sich, er stand auf der Bühne – und schon dieses Stehen war Tanz.“ – Ich habe gelacht, als ich diese Beschreibung des Auftritts eines berühmten Tango-Tänzers hörte. Heute lache ich nicht mehr. Stattdessen sehne ich mich, sobald ich mich auf dem Parkett in die Arme eines Mannes begebe, nach diesem Augenblick des Innehaltens, des spannungsvollen Abwartens, in dem sich mitten im Musikstück ein Solist über jegliche Takte und Tempi hinwegsetzt und einen Ton ins Unendliche ausdehnt. Meist ist es das Bandoneon, dieses kleine Knopfakkordeon, das zunächst mit sanftem Druck und dann, auf den letzten Millimetern, mit roher Gewalt zusammengedrückt wird, um ihm noch ein letztes Seufzen und Ächzen zu entlocken, bis sich sein oft über 70 Jahre alter, in Thüringen hergestellter Blasebalg im Auseinanderziehen wieder mit Luft füllen darf.

Die Rede ist vom Argentinischen Tango. Ich kenne keinen anderen Tanz, der so hingebungsvoll die Pausen zelebriert, keine andere Musik außer dem Jazz, die den Musikern so viel Freiheit zum Tempowechsel lässt. Nicht zufällig versuchen sich viele Jazzer früher oder später an Stücken von Astor Piazzolla, dem berühmtesten Komponisten moderner Tango-Musik.

Gewiss, es gibt die konservativen Tangos, deren Viervierteltakt verlässlich vom ersten bis zum letzten Takt marschiert. Es gibt die Milongas, eine Unterart der Tangos, die mit karibischer Leichtigkeit die schweren Bandoneons und strengen Geigen zu afrikanischen Rhythmen tanzen lassen. Es gibt den Tango-Pop, der sich elektronischer Instrumente bedient. Es gibt sogar den Tango-Walzer mit wiegendem Dreivierteltakt. All diese Formen des Tangos haben mit spannungsvollen Pausen nicht viel zu tun. Doch da gibt es ein paar Stücke, in denen der Wechsel von schneller Bewegung zu zögerndem Verharren den ganzen Reiz ausmacht. Und die sind es, die ich an diesem Tanz, an dieser Musik liebe.

Tango is so much more than just a bunch of steps…

and often misunderstood by many dancers who just cannot relate to the incense of the music

The dancing couple translates the music into movement, interpreting each role specifically with their masculine and feminine energy, becoming one in the embrace for 3 minutes.

The power of the embrace  is the most effective energy in this dance form, which makes tango outstanding and different from all other social dances.

To understand the language of tango, there are some basic techniques, and a number of basic elements and tools  that help us to understand and execute our movements to get into the right connection.

Applying the basic techniques help you to feel confident when you dance as a couple, in an embrace.

Lead:

The role of the man or the leader is to conduct the dance. Historically seen, the leader is viewed as having the more masculine energy. This doesn’t mean the women cannot lead.

In this dance the two roles are historically well-established. He, who initiates the movement, needs to observe and decide where to move, needs to communicate before initiating the movement. This means the lead has to be clear enough to be perceived by the follower after which the leader must wait for the follower to produce the movement

Follower:

The role of the woman or follower is normally given to the woman because of her feminine sensibility. The very nature of feminine movements makes the woman the follower in this dance. The role as the woman is as important as the  man’s with the difference being that the woman needs to be connected with the partner in an unique way in order to give a clear answer to his command. The follower needs to be sensitive enough to read different bodies and to interpret different leads. The woman needs to know how to share axis without loosing her balance. She learns a movement technically by muscle memory, but than she must forget this movement as a choreography, so she can sync with what she is receiving from the leader.

Remember that both roles are equally active and important in this dance.
