5 things I learned about relationships from learning the Argentinian Tango

Recently I started taking Tango group lessons. Since youth I have always loved to dance, but this was my first attempt at tango. My fiance has never taken dance before so this was entirely new to him. It was a great experience for both of us. In the first lesson, I found that tango was more than learning steps (which is the case with any dance form). Here were some life/ relationship lessons I learned from tango.

  1. Trust

    I discovered there is a lot of weight shifting in tango. You have to literally lean on the partner. For a relationship to be successful, it is important that there is trust.

Where feelings of abandonment come from

Recently I wrote a blog about how to deal with feelings of abandonment, but today’s blog lists sources of abandonment.

Relationships:

  • problems in a relationship albeit family, friends, or significant other.

  • end of an intimate relationship.

  • significant other leaving the relationship for another person.

Childhood:

  • parents leaving their child.

  • traumatic experience.

  • divorce.

  • child replaced by birth of another sibling.

Worklife:

  • job loss.

  • demotion.

Grief:

  • loss of a loved one.
