Closeness through distance.

In tango, both dance partners keep a very precise distance between them.
To do this, they have to perform their movements together and precisely.
The better they manage to do this together, the more elegant the choreography looks. Do they know and feel each other? Do they take over their partner's movements in time? Can they make complex movement sequences look fluid and light together?

In dance, there is always a space between them - a distance. However, they primarily create an image of great closeness with their unified movements.

So there is no closeness without distance. The distance they both agree on is always the right degree of closeness.
