The motto for the day ❤️
"The lyrics in tango and the voice are very clear, and you can hear when there's romance, nostalgia or sadness. You can feel it even though you don't understand the lyrics. The mood of the song, of the music, is important to listen to…
Tango was an immigrant music in my own country, so it does not have a nationality, its only passport is feeling, and everybody has feelings. Passion is a plus. If you are a passionate person, you will dance better.
There's a misperception that if a dancer knows a lot of steps, he's a good dancer. I think it's a mistake. It only means that the person has a good memory. I prefer the tango you dance while enjoying the moment, because then I will see that my partner is closing her eyes. That she is enjoying it too. (But) I've met girls who thought they had to have their eyes closed to dance a good tango. You close your eyes when you feel like it, not because you have to, or because it looks better.
Trust is also important. When you dance with a partner, you are close, and the dance is very suggestive. But it’s not personal, it's what the music inspires you to do. The embrace looks personal, but what we are actually embracing is the music." - Carlos Gavito
