With striking similarities between the two disciplines, this workshop will introduce methods through which anyone, young or old, dancer or not, can experience and enjoy the wonderful benefits of both Tango and Zen. This workshop will introduce a number of exercises that develop mindfulness, and full awareness of the self, one's partner, and surroundings. Adapted from martial arts, meditation techniques, and sports as well as Tango, the exercises sharpen concentration through an engaging physical discipline.
