gravitas \GRA-vuh-tas\, noun: high seriousness; dignity; importance [syn: dignity, lordliness]
Tango Gravitas represents a new generation of Argentine tango dancers who strive to push the boundaries of artistic creativity while still holding strong to the fundamentals of traditions. Firmly grounded in the Argentine roots of the dance's conception, it emphasizes the intrinsic concepts of partner connection, leading and following, musical interpretation and the classic tango aesthetic. Tango Gravitas places primary importance on the silent discourse between the man and the woman, who unceasingly communicate through their movements and through the music. It embraces an innovation and experimentation which can be realized only through this constant interplay between leader and follower who share in the responsibility of listening and reacting to each other, to the music, and to other couples sharing the dance floor. Tango Gravitas promotes the dynamism, inventiveness, and originality associated with tango's progressive evolution while simultaneously striving to uphold the dignity of and a respect for the past.
