About this ebook
Would you like to meditate while dancing Tango? Yes, Buddha can teach you to dance Tango through Zen. You might ask, “How does Tango have anything to do with Zen?”
TangoZen is an innovative yet natural way of meditating while dancing Tango. Referring to striking similarities between the two, this book will introduce methods through which Tango dancers and non-dancers can practice TangoZen to experience and enjoy the wonderful benefits, which both Tango and Zen have to offer.
Everybody knows meditation is a good thing. For example, Zen meditation, if practiced properly, can create balance, calmness, groundedness, centering, and harmony in mind and body. However, it is difficult to meditate for many reasons. Meditation is mainly practiced while sitting with legs crossed to support and ground one’s body. Unfortunately this sitting posture can create uncomfortable feelings and even pains before you benefit from the meditation practice. In addition, despite the importance of practicing meditation regularly, it can be difficult to stick to it with regularity due to the hectic life style we live every day.
Can one meditate while moving around instead of sitting down? Although it appears to be sedate and passive, Zen meditation can also be practiced in more active ways than the sitting posture. For example, walking meditation has been practiced among Buddhists since the Buddha himself practiced it. Other forms of Zen meditation in motion can also be found in sports and performing arts.

Reviews for Tango Zen
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I don't know what I think of this book because I can't read this book. It's impossible to adjust the text size and it's set at a very tiny size. Maybe it's a great book, but if I can't read it, how can I know?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5From the tango instructor's perspective this book brings nothing new. I have done even more varied exercises for the same purpose. Do note that I've also done guided meditations.
For a non dancer or someone who is at the beginning of their tango journey, this might be interesting but won't make them want to learn to dance...or meditate.
