What do a translator, a teacher of English and an editor in the Bulgarian National Radio have in common? They keep up the typical stressed out daily schedules but on Wednesdays pay visits to an aristocratic house downtown Sofia to communicate and play tango.
Petar has been dancing for a decade, and four years ago he decided that he was keen to share his skills. Today his life is divided into two: he works as a translator during the day, and in the evening leads tango lessens.
What does tango mean in his private life?
„It is a complicated dance that urges me to reveal more of myself, be more open and communicate in a better way.”
In the Sally Porter movie The Tango Lesson the protagonist starring Pablo Veron admits, ‘It wasn’t me who chose tango; tango chose me.’ Tango came to visit English teacher Eva by surprise, but at a very special moment.
„I received this tango course as a birthday present. What I really like is the man-woman exchange in the dance. It is very close, but it also has strict rules. Tango is a lot more specific than other dances and this I find fascinating.”
Eva admits that tango has become a source of change in her life:
“Tango becomes your other life. It teaches us to enjoy life, instead of pursuing success at any cost. In my professional life I have tasks to accomplish and while I dance tango, I just enjoy it. It is the time when both my soul and body take a rest.”
Petya works as sound engineer at the Bulgarian National Radio and after a serious surgery has chosen tango for physical and psychological recuperation.
„After a stressed out day at work, I come to dance to forget all this. And it is important that I can share things with other people. Today this is very important, because in all things we do we press buttons, and the buttons are unfit for communication, only a human being is.”
