Tango!

This event is for members of the ICF Southampton Coaching Circle.

In essence Tango has a very simple dance structure, one person walking forward and the other walking backwards. Similarly, coaching is essentially a simple conversation between two people one leading the other. However, from that basic form there is a wealth of tools and techniques which develop both into a wonderful complex and subtle approach that produces amazing results.

So, we will use Tango as the vehicle for exploring the nature of the coaching relationship and the controversial area of coach as leader and follower.

“Tango must be simply danced, with immense feeling, with a sense of energy flowing between the dancers. This energy grows or decreases as the music ebbs and flows. It is a private conversation, something to be quietly shared, not publicly displayed.” Bruno E. Romero - Origins of Argentina Tango

Gestalt focuses on the relationship ‘dance’ between people, in the present.

With these principles there’s a wealth of coach learning and experience .
