“Sensual and Mathematical”: Sharna Fabiano on Irresistible Tango

Some beautiful thoughts from Sharna Fabiano in an interview with Dance Place:

“Tango specifically is irresistible to me because it represents the intersection of opposing forces. To name a few: sensual and mathematical, simple and complex, curving and linear, up and down, inward and outward, speaking and listening, motion and stillness, control and release. The challenge and the reward of tango is to hold these opposites together at once in your own being. It is a partnered form, which is in itself another experience of the union of opposites. It’s beautiful and lends itself very elegantly to universal metaphors, both spiritual and interpersonal. I have been transformed a million times through tango. It is an art form in which it is very easy for me to experience constant personal evolution.”
