Our Inspiration for This Year
It started as a casual conversation, the kind that drifts between planning sessions and car rides to pick up the kids. We were talking about tango, about how no two dances ever unfold the same way. Somewhere in that conversation, Hopscotch (Rayuela) byJulio Cortázar came up, not as a reference we were searching for, but almost by accident. As we talked, it became obvious why the book had stayed with us.
Like the book, tango is non-linear. It is danced through improvisation, moment-to-moment decisions, and deep presence with another person. Structure gives us something to play with, but meaning emerges through the breaking, bending, and reimagining of form.
Throughout the weekend, we hold these ideas not as separate themes, but as one living conversation of freedom and form, choice and encounter, certainty and discovery, danced step by step, together.
