Hello, everyone!
I’m baaaaaack from my amazing adventure in Costa Rica, and I’m feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to dive back into our tango journey together! I hope you all had a wonderful start to the year, and I’m excited to share this new chapter with you.
*Upcoming Schedule*
Mark your calendars for our upcoming lessons & practices on Saturdays. Same time, same venue:
January 18, 25, February 1, and 8.
*My Heart’s Desire*
As we continue on this journey, I want to remind you that my goal is to help create a community that is safe, supportive, and inclusive space for all of us to explore our passion for tango together.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued, and I’m committed to making our community a place where you can be your authentic self, fully expressed , while learning and growing along the way. Feel free to reach out if you need extra support or have some ideas/ suggestions to make things better. I’m all ears!
*Practice with Purpose *
To help you deepen your connection with the music and your own body, I encourage you to keep practicing your solo exercises – pivots, ochos, and balance exercises are all essential to developing your own unique style and freedom of movement. Remember, tango is not just about mastering steps, but about embracing the freedom to feel, express, and create.
*The Beauty of Tango*
As we dance together, I want to remind you that tango is a journey, not a destination. It’s a journey of connection, improvisation, and co-creation, where we get to infuse our own personality into the dance and connect with others on a deeper level. So, let’s savor every step, every moment, and every connection we make along the way.
I’m honored to share this journey with each and every one of you, and I look forward to seeing the beauty and joy that we can create together.
With love and tango,
Maria Baula- Schuh
