"So sensitive and descriptive. I loved the forms and images that came to my mind as I read it!" Alejandra Mantiñan - for the chapter The meaning of your personal-development path in tango For some people, tango is just a social activity. No deeper meaning, no journey. Just a few steps, mixed and recycled. This book is not for those people. This book is for those who look for meaning, connection, and awareness in tango; in one word: Tangofulness. It is for those who know how it is to be hugged and feel safe; for those who have experienced a few best-tanda-of-my-life moments and want more of them. Above all, it is for those who want to explore the origin of meaningful connection in tango, not as an intellectual process, but as a practical way to experience tangofulness more often and in greater intensity. Dimitris Bronowski took his first tango steps in 2009. In 2019 he left his position as CEO of the biggest marketing training company for experts in Europe to dedicate himself professionally to his passion: tango. He is the publisher of the bestselling book Tango Tips by the Maestros, tango blogger, and organizer of tango retreats. His vision is to help one million people experience moments of meaning through tango.

What if you could get the advice of 40+ tango maestros in one single book? This book brought together for the first time in the tango history icons of tango, judges of the World Tango Championship (Mundial de Tango), world champions, and experienced teachers from around the world, and asked them one question: If you could give a few pieces of advice that you consider extremely valuable to a few tens of thousands tangueros and tangueras, what would you say? The maestros covered topics from musicality to elegance, from connection to balance, from embrace to trust, from body awareness to the difference between good and great dancers. Together, they tackled questions such as developing a personal style, reducing tension, creating warmth, dancing more, learning faster, breaking through the plateau that keeps some people's tango the same (hint: your technique is rarely the issue). The purpose of the book is one: to help the eager tanguero and tanguera enjoy tango more and discover actionable, clear, and simple advice to develop further the necessary skills of this beautiful dance. Disclaimer: This book is not intended for readers who haven't had any tango classes. It is intended as a powerful supplement for those who are already learning and dancing argentine tango. A book by Dimitris Bronowski and Tango Argentino Festivals (.com). Our vision is to make tango empowering.

If you are interested in Argentine tango you know that, as Veronica writes in one of her essays, "Tango, no matter your involvement in it, becomes a kind of a world separate from the rest, with its own particular joys, sorrows, difficulties, rules, goals and pleasures." And in this world there are both happiness and suffering. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced dancer, in Veronica's essays you will discover a rich source of knowledge and inspiration as she tackles complex psychological, social and pegagodical issues in tango as a social dance and a performing art. Her essays offer a profound and well articulated reflection on the contemporary tango scene, supported by insights from psychology, neuroscience, biomechanics and bodymind techniques. What is the most effective way of learning tango? Why do we suffer so much while trying to learn it? How to stay happy and healthy while engaging intensively in this activity? Why does tango bring us so much joy and how to cultivate this joy no matter your age, looks and physical capacities? These are just some of the questions the author touches upon in this book that includes her first nineteen essays written between November 2013 and December 2014. Her essays, published as a blog on her Facebook page, are shared by tango people all over the world and translated into 14 languages so far by enthusiast volunteers.
