How We Work
Our Center is founded on knowing that “the way we do it, IS ‘it’.”
We are cultivating a community that is like a plant in the following ways: it is small, slowly-growing, healthy, resourceful, rooted, lighthearted, and generously providing the world with stuff it can use.
Every day each of us works to cultivate sensitive and creative connections on and off the dance floor, which all adds up to a peaceful and harmonious community. To do this we each work first to strengthen ourselves, and second to help take limitation away from those nearest to us.

Recognizing that part of the beauty of tango is in the tough and wacky challenges it offers our bodies, minds, feelings, and egos -- we take responsibility for ourselves, saying Yeses that are Yeses and Nos that are Nos. In our interactions we seek to really understand and make space for the oftentimes alien-to-us ways others experience the world, the music, the Tango, and everything else. We focus on the positive, leaving quickly behind anything that is an obstacle to the free flow of collaborative creativity. We work to identify vicitim mentality in ourselves and let go of it so our connections can be awesome, non-boring, sweet, not sour, and full of energy! Yeah! |
