Today I’ll share with you the second part of the interview I did with Sara Grdan and Ivan Terrazas, two wonderful tango teachers that I wish I had met earlier. In this part of the interview we talked about the tango vocabulary. the words and phrases we use to explain and teach tango and their importance. Things like: Spiral, connection, dissociation, being grounded, just relax, use the floor. We discussed how tango boils down to two words. We then talked about the three questions a student should ask their teachers to make sure they understand every new information they try to teach them. It’s a brilliantly simple sequence of questions that you can use with any teacher. Then we discussed musicality. Sara and Ivan have a refreshingly different perspective about musicality than the usual, I loved this part. Finally, we touched upon improvisation and what it truly means.
