Riassunto

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mauricio Castro is the founder of Tango Discovery and [is] a renowned dancer and teacher of Argentine Tango. He created and developed a personal style of dancing and teaching tango in Buenos Aires and then, through Tango Discovery, he brought it to the rest of the world.

To his solid musical education at the prestigious Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA), he added contemporary dance and movement technique studies (Laban Analysis, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and The Skinner Releasing Technique, among others). In addition, he also studied Human Sciences in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Design Human Engineering, and Human Ecology.

The joining of these disciplines and influences allowed him to create his particular and unmistakable style, systematizing it into an innovative method to accelerate the process of learning to dance. Breaking out from rigid sequences, his focus is to develop improvisation skills through a simple and dynamic technique where students discover not only a relaxed and released style but also a new way of expressing and communicating with their bodies.

The synthesis of his method, recognized worldwide by hundreds of dancers, used to be available not only by attending his classes but also in his books and (back then - we are talking the year 2000) cutting-edge multimedia CD-ROMs. They used to be available in several languages.

From the beginning, Castro insists that the tango is and should be for anyone, as it is something so pleasurable and common like breathing.

“Repeating random exercises won’t get you anywhere. The proof is that there are people out there, that have been trying to dance tango for years and they still can’t, they still believe that is a difficult dance.

I have found a NEW way of teaching and learning far better to whatever you have been doing.” - Mauricio Castro

This book must be taken as a sort of beginning and inspiration to generate
movement. It must be used to awaken and increase our curiosity in relation
to dance, producing new possibilities of movement and, therefore, new
forms to express ourselves and enjoy our bodies.

This material can be used for doing exactly the opposite, too. That is why it is everyone's responsibility for paying attention to how you
are practicing.
