A couple of thoughts.
A word : ‘Kinaesthesia’.
It refers to the sense of awareness of the position and movement of the voluntary muscles of the body. It is something we all, as Tango dancers, need to be continually improving.
From Greek – Kineo move
and – Aisthesis sensation, (perceive sensation).
The philosopher Emanuel Kant is said to have thought that Art should be simply viewed with disinterested contemplation. David Howes, an Anthropologist,

makes some interesting observations on how different people and cultures engage with art. This is not Tango. But Tony does believe it is really worthwhile opening ourselves to the idea of as total involvement in the whole experience of tango as we can. Argentine Tango is not just a collection of slick moves; it is a full package of experiences.
