Touch to move

Lead like a tango dancer.

Tangelligence is the capability to touch someone in a positive way, with a positive outcome. We bring over a century of wisdom from the Argentine Tango dance floor into coaching and leadership training.

Our philosophy: Tang[o Int]elligence

Whenever we work with people we draw on what tango dancers know about leading and following. A good leader on the dance floor never pushes — and a good follower is far more than passive.

… when leading

open new space for your followers
lead by seducing, instead of pushing
use clear signals instead of force
adjust your step size to that of your followers
develop a true connection — and be skilful in maintaining it

… when following

use awareness to maintain contact
be precise in your feedback to the leader
be the leader's coach

Every touch has three moments

Before the touch

Build an inner connection first. Get to know what the people you are about to lead want and what they are capable of.

In the moment of touch

Tenderness combined with clarity. People follow a clear signal out of free will — a push only builds up resistance.

After the touch

The most overlooked phase. Don't break the connection: follow your followers, wherever they go.
