Many people who want to learn how to dance Argentine tango face a problem due to low self-esteem. It seems to them that their age, complexion, level of physical fitness do not meet the requirements at all, which means that they will not be able to learn how to dance beautifully. During the first lessons, the fears are confirmed: the person is constantly afraid of making mistakes, and as a result, in fact, he makes one mistake after another. The right way to practice will help you avoid these situations.
First of all, you should take into account that people of different ages and sizes can learn Argentine tango, and in this case, special physical training or special skills do not matter at all. Argentine tango teachers work with a wide variety of students: it often happens that some of the participants in the training have recently turned 20, while others are already over 50, but all the students are doing an excellent job. Try it yourself and you will see that it is easier than it sounds.
Having decided to start training, you should learn that, as a rule, no one succeeds in achieving success immediately after the start of classes. However, you should get used to treating your own and others' mistakes condescendingly. If you are attending a training session to improve your relationship with your significant other, rest assured that a calm, patient attitude towards mistakes will come in handy more than once, even in everyday life.
Learning Argentine tango will help you not only form the correct attitude towards mistakes, but also increase your self-esteem. You don't have to compare your skills to perfect mastery, as many students do. Of course, Argentine tango teachers and masters dance much better than the beginner participants in the training, and this is completely natural. Learn to compare yourself with yourself and enjoy even small successes. At the beginning of the lesson, you did not get the movement, but by the end you were already able to perform it correctly? It is wonderful! Just a day ago you could not learn a step, but now it comes easy for you? This is a reason to praise yourself! Use your successes and failures as stepping stones to climb to the heights of mastery.
For people who have recently started teaching tango, it often seems that all masters have learned the art of dance very easily. In fact, this is not the case: to perform on stage and improvise excellently, you need to spend a lot of time and effort honing your skills. Those who now dance beautifully and naturally, at the beginning of their training also experienced difficulties, remember this.
Finally, do not compare yourself to other participants in the training if they are better at dancing than you. We are all talented in different areas. Follow your own successes, improve, be confident in yourself, and you will certainly succeed, moreover, not only in tango, but also in relationships with other people and especially with your soul mate.
