✨​ 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝘆 Ł𝘂𝗸𝗮𝘀𝘇 𝗣𝗿𝘇𝘆𝗯𝘆ł𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗰𝘇 (𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘄):
In 2014, I went to Buenos Aires, where I realized that besides leading, I also love following in tango. I discovered that this role feels more natural and intuitive for me. This was my way to learn how to lead. Thanks to contact improvisation, I became aware of how important experimentation and physical experience are in the process of learning movement.
I like to break things down into their elements, examine them, and then put them back together — consciously. This applies to the body and to movement as well. I believe that before we start straightening, stretching, and activating the body, we should first find ourselves within the body. That’s when we can start searching for tango — for me, in its most beautiful form.
In comfort and naturalness, a certain kind of beauty is born — and that’s the beauty I admire the most.
