從全國大會INTERNACIONAL去阿根廷探戈難忘的表現（CITA）

About Tango

"Argentinean tango holds a unique place in couple dancing. The body is closer, more intimate than in any other dance form. And yet the legs move faster and with more deadly accuracy than in any other comparable dance. It is this combination of sensual, meditative, relaxed contact in the upper body and swift, almost martial arts-like repartee in the lower body that gives the tango its unique identity. Add to this vibrant mix the music - melancholy, ecstatic, growling, predatory, soaring, seeking, heartbreakingly beautiful - and you have the ingredients for something more than a craze. You have a genuine participatory art form, which can express the most profound and complex longings that people can have about their lives, about each other, about the nature of existence itself… The tango is evidently, once again, a living art form, with Buenos Aires the epicenter of a cultural phenomenon. The tango remains essentially a popular musical form, rooted in the visceral sense of its dance; combining melodic, lyrical beauty with its unmistakable rhythmic drive. Heady and passionate, sensual and meditative, melancholic and joyful, it is identifiably Argentinean and yet, clearly, is universally accessible. The tango is as complex as its own roots and as simple as the primal impulse for two human beings to move as one." Sally Potter - 1997
