Dance is my path for over 30 years.
From ballet to contemporary dance, from folk dances to improvisation, from structure to freedom. My body is familiar with discipline as well as spontaneous movement. Over these years, I have worked with my body - not only delving into technique but also exploring the energy that moves within it.
I am fascinated by what happens between people when they dance. The energy that arises in dance is more than mere movement - it is a subtle exchange that reveals the truth about ourselves. My journeys - through spirituality, energy work, and working with the body - grant me insight into the invisible threads that connect people in dance. My knowledge and awareness allow me to perceive what lies beyond the steps - the hidden dynamics, emotions, strength, and its absence.
I have been dancing tango regularly for 6 years and 5 Rhythms for over 10 years. My practice encompasses not only physical experience but also a deeper look at how dance reflects our patterns, ancestral histories, and the legacies passed down by those who came before us. Hellinger’s constellations have shown me how our movements are inscribed in history, in the energy we inherit from our ancestors.
Looking at the men in dance, I see not only technique and style but also the archetypes they bring into the space of movement.
The Man in Tango – The One Who Leads or the One Who Follows the Energy?
On the surface, tango appears to be a dance of masculine dominance. It is the man who leads, makes decisions, and sets the direction. Yet, if we look deeper, we see that the true strength of a leader does not lie in control but in the ability to feel.
Tango is improvisation. It is the energy that emerges between partners and influences what unfolds. A man may lead, but his leading is, in reality, a response to the energy arising in the relationship. How he approaches his partner, listens to her body, and senses the space—this is what creates the dance.
If there is chemistry between partners, if their energies meet, the movement becomes unpredictable, organic, full of tension and flow. It is not the structure that decides the dance, but the presence.
Tango attracts men who want to feel strong, as well as those who appreciate the subtle play of tension -the balance between control and surrendering to the moment. Some treat tango as a challenge - a test of building self-confidence through movement. Others seek intimacy in it, that elusive, quiet space that is born in an embrace and a look.
But tango is also a mirror. One can dance precisely, yet not truly feel; one can lead, but not be present; one can know all the steps, yet fail to form a genuine connection.
The Man in 5 Rhythms – Freedom in Being Himself
In 5 Rhythms, there is no division between leader and follower. There is no structured choreography, no set rules—only the body and its natural movement.
A man who attends 5 Rhythms often does not seek control - he seeks expression. His dance flows from an inner impulse, not from a learned structure or form. This is another quality of masculinity—more raw, instinctive, and organic.
Such men are often more grounded in their bodies, more self-aware. They do not feel the need to prove their strength through domination—their strength comes from authenticity. In relationships, they are more ready for a genuine encounter—not one based on role-playing, but on honesty and presence.
Yet, 5 Rhythms is also a space where one can hide. One can surrender to movement while simultaneously avoiding a true encounter. One might dance slowly without being truly open. Because the energy in dance is not only what happens in the body—it is also the willingness to confront oneself and another person.
Masculine Energy in Dance – Strength or Awareness?
Dance reveals the truth about us.
A man in tango may be strong, but is he aware? Does he truly listen to his partner, or is he merely repeating learned patterns? Does he lead from the heart, or from the ego?
A man in 5 Rhythms may be free, but does he perhaps avoid closeness? Is his dance authentic, or is it just movement devoid of deeper connection?
Hellinger’s constellations show that how we dance is not merely a matter of choice. It is also an inscription of the histories we carry within us. Men in tango often carry the patterns of “traditional” masculinity—one that leads, makes decisions, and provides structure. Men in Five Rhythms more frequently reflect an archetype of masculinity associated with flow, intuition, and presence.
Both aspects are valuable.
In true, mature masculinity, there is room for both leading and feeling—for strength and openness, for structure and flow.
What a man’s dance reveals about him is more than it might seem at first glance.
It is not about which dance is better. It is about what the dance tells us about ourselves.
Are we truly present in tango? Are we truly free in
5 Rhythms?
Dance does not lie. Dance reveals the truth about who we are - our identity, our history, and our authenticity.
