Argentine tango tends to be associated with highly gendered images of women and men locked in contorted embraces. These images constitute a tango imaginary that is removed from the lived experience of the dance. Remaining close to the experiential core of tango, this paper provides a Heideggerian-inspired phenomenological account that re-imagines tango as a mode of being-in-the-world. By situating us in direct and constant relationship with an attentive partner and furnishing a complex grammar of constraints, tango generates a frame for creating and sustaining worldhood. By examining the how of dance, the kind of experience it offers up, we approach the dynamic emergence of Being. In what follows, I draw on my years of dancing tango to elaborate an understanding of the experiential dimensions of the dance, and how these relate to the development of shared focal practices that disclose insights associated with embodied being-in-the-world.

想象中的交易：在阿根廷探戈中寻找真实性

阿根廷探戈舞往往与被扭曲拥抱的男女形象高度相关。这些图像构成了探戈假想，从舞蹈的真实体验中删除了。保持接近探戈的体验核心，本文提供了一个受海德格尔启发的现象学解释，将探戈重新想象为一种在世的方式。通过使我们与一个细心的伙伴保持直接和持久的关系，并提供复杂的约束语法，探戈为创造和维持世界性提供了框架。通过研究舞蹈的方式及其提供的体验，我们可以探讨存在的动态出现。在接下来的内容中，我将根据自己多年的舞蹈探戈来阐述对舞蹈的体验维度的理解，
