Of course, communication in a couple is necessary, because without it a man and a woman cannot understand each other and get an idea of the character, actions, thoughts of their soulmate. However, Argentine tango teaches us an even more important and valuable skill - how to properly keep silent, while feeling comfort and complete understanding.
During the dance, it is not customary to conduct a conversation. This even applies to comments and apologies. If you did something wrong - just a glance or a short "Sorry". If your partner makes a mistake during the dance, you can tell him about it later. It is not at all necessary to interrupt the dance for the sake of this, unless we are talking about the initial stages of training.
Remember: the more you talk, the more difficult it is for you to feel your partner's movements, to understand him, to establish contact with him, which will allow you to create a beautiful and sophisticated dance. Only by learning to communicate non-verbally and by starting to talk through hugs and touch can you improve your dancing skills. Moreover, it will give you a very important skill - to understand your partner even in everyday life, to pay attention to the language of his body and gestures, to guess his emotions. You will be able to be silent with each other, and at the same time, both of you will be easy and comfortable. Rest assured, this will have a beneficial effect on your relationship.
Argentine tango will teach you one more thing that a couple needs to get used to: all comments should be made after the dance, and not during it, moreover, you cannot publicly scold your partner. If you are used to arranging a showdown in the presence of other people, you will have to urgently get rid of this habit. This is one of the secrets of a successful partnership, both in dance and in life. In addition, it must be remembered that "debriefing" requires both partners to be sensitive, to understand, to be able to choose expressions and to speak only about specific shortcomings, and not about the person's appearance or character. This is necessary so that the person's self-esteem remains high enough, so that unnecessary resentments do not appear in the couple, which can seriously ruin the relationship.
Argentine tango finally gives you the opportunity to please your partner with pleasant words. Couples who have lived together long enough should consider how often compliments are heard in their daily lives. Often, people who have lived together for a long time simply forget about how important it is to praise each other, and stop saying nice things. However, this can offend, because sometimes it seems that the partner has simply stopped appreciating his soul mate or even just paying attention to her merits. After each dance, you will learn to thank your partner. To do this, you can use not a trivial thank you, but a good compliment. It is very pleasant to hear: “You dance wonderfully”, “You have an amazing talent”, “I was very pleased”. As you transfer the habit of complimenting to your daily life, you will soon notice that the relationship in the couple is building better.
