「擁抱」是阿根廷探戈的核心

「阿根廷舞者為他們的擁抱而感到自豪。每個舞者都花好多心思在研究如何擁抱他/她的舞伴。舞者們各自有其獨特的擁抱方式,擁抱對他們而言無疑是珍貴的。它是舞蹈的核心,也是一對舞者之間的舞蹈靈魂。當男人以他的手掌而非手臂作為框架來擁抱女伴時,這對阿根廷男舞者來說是種侮辱。因為一個有自覺的男人,將不會以那樣的方式來擁抱女人。」~Nina from Tango-L

為何用手臂擁抱,會比運用手掌還舒服呢?雖然我一時也說不上來,不過依稀還記得過往的共舞經驗......在對方整個環繞的手臂裡,會有一種安全感,安全到可以被催眠的那種感覺。反之,如果男士以手掌或手指在我的背後作一些細微的推壓訊號時,原本習慣以胸口接收訊號的意識,似乎會突然警醒,彷彿預告自己等一下將會出現較複雜的動作,而原本放鬆的身心自然就轉變成招式取向的舞動方法。話說回來,這種招式取向舞動方法所使用到的肌力與身體部位,當然又會更多了。

根據對方的需求而作出回應,在「舒適」與「招式」之間的比例拿捏,大概也是種藝術了。

Attributed to Nina from Tango-L:


Argentine dancers take great pride in their embrace. Each one takes incredible care of how to embrace his/her partner. People have mannerisms that are uniquely their own. Embrace is precious to them. It is at the core of the dance. It is the soul of the dance between the two partners. The “frame” configurations where a man is holding a woman with his hands instead of arms hits at the pride of Argentine male dancers because no self-respecting man would hold a woman that way.
