TANGO YOUR LIFE

Synopsis:
Tango is more than just steps or fancy moves in Buenos Aires. The people who live in Buenos Aires are called Porteos. People say that tango is like watching life on the dance floor.

The movie is about how he found his inner passion for life by learning about tango as a culture, as music, as dance, as friendship, as love, and as part of everyday life in Buenos Aires.

Sinopsis:
El tango en Buenos Aires es más que solamente pasos, figuras o pasos de fantasía. Las personas que viven en Buenos Aires se llaman Porteños. Ellos dicen que el tango es como ver la vida en la pista de baile. Chan Park, quien escribió un libro llamado “Tango Zen: Walking Dance Meditation” (“Tango Zen: Caminar y Meditar Bailando”), vivió en Buenos Aires durante cuatro años y entendió que el tango es un sentimiento que viene de la música y es compartido por compañeros de baile que caminan juntos y sincronizados.
La película trata sobre cómo encontró la pasión interior de su vida aprendiendo sobre el tango como cultura, como música, como baile, como amistad, como amor y como parte de la vida cotidiana en Buenos Aires.
