"No one
must have lived like him in love and war."
Milonga de Jacinto Chiclana, J.L. Borges
In their deciphering of the meaning of this aged
proverb, which speaks to the notion that love
and war are sons of the same god, Cecilia and
Ariel found that Tango and Pa Kua Chang (a sophisticated
Chinese martial art) are governed by the same
underlying principles.
Using the resistance, the persistence and the
plasticity of water, they have unlocked a unique
method for exploring spacial relationships, spiral
and rotational energies, transfers and exchanges
of vacuities, and a greater sense of overall clarity.
In water, the concepts that are fundamental to
learn tango take corporeality that makes these
ideas more salient and comprehensible.
Aquatango is a vital step in the path of learning
tango. After having danced in water, dancing tango
will be a completely different experience.
