🇭🇷Pred-misaona inteligencija i Trnoružica somatskog bivanja

U našem ljudskom postojanju puno smo više od onoga što mislimo.

Vrh ledenog bijega je naša svijest. Ispod površine je golema masa naša pred-misaona inteligencija

Komuniciramo, mislimo ili činimo?
Što dolazi prvo i kako je kome određeno?

1. Komuniciramo, mislimo ili činimo?

U klasičnom, industrijskom društvu naučeni smo prvo misliti, zatim činiti, i tek onda iz toga komunicirati. Je li onaj naš svjesni, osjetilni, urođeni dio nas zaspao poput Trnoružice? Ili se tek privremeno uspavao? Ili je odšetao bez nas samih, pokušavajući se vratiti na svoju kontaktnu GPS lokaciju? Proglasiše ga nepotrebnim, jer ometa i ne pripada zadanom društvu i krutoj okolini.

Ispod površine mora (onog ledenog brijega), naša pred-misaona inteligencija komunicira s okolinom u svakoj milisekundi. Ona pulsira kroz tonus mišića, dah, živčani sustav i privlačenje podloge.

2. Što dolazi prvo?
Prvo dolazi BIVANJE i ČISTA PRISUTNOST (0 točka). To je ona golema masa ispod površine vode.

Naša tijela „čitaju” prostor, geometriju i druge ljude (baš kao u univerzalnom tango zagrljaju) bez ikakve kognitivne analize. Tek kad se ta energija podigne na sam vrh ledenog brijega, ona postaje svjesna misao.

Tijelo konektirano kroz pelvis u stopala oko kojih se razvijaje korijenje a s svijesnim disanjem koje budi i masira naše unutrašnje kontaktne površine. Ono fino objubljavanje unutar našeg tijela.

Čitamo li kroz osnovno, prirođeno dekodiranje, uočavanje i unutrašnje osluškivanje? Ili činimo isključivo kroz nametnute obrasce društva, trenutne afektivne emocije i potrebu da samo reaktivno odgovorimo – povlačeći se u verbalnu obranu ili tihi odlazak?

3. Kako je kome određeno?
To ovisi o tome koliko je tko čvrsto zatvoren u oklop kontrole.

Ljudima koji žive isključivo na samom vrhu brijega, "određeno" je da stalno analiziraju, brinu i računaju korake (mehanička izvedba).

Ljudima koji  razvijaju somatsku inteligenciju, dopušteno je zaroniti ispod površine, gdje gibanje i dodir postaju prirodna, pred-misaona posljedica unutrašnjeg poravnanja i univerzalnog jezika s kojim plesno možemo komunicirati s prisutnima.

„Ples prestaje biti mehanička izvedba i postaje čisto bivanje u trenutku kada svjesni um preda kontrolu pred-misaonoj inteligenciji tijela.”

🇭🇷 Hvala vam na čitanju i plovidbi kroz osjet tijela, slušanje, uzemljenje i prostor bivanja u trenutku sada.

🇬🇧 Pre-Reflective Intelligence and the Sleeping Beauty of Somatic Being

In our human existence, we are far more than what we think.

The tip of the iceberg is our conscious mind. Beneath the surface lies a massive volume—our pre-reflective, somatic intelligence.

Do we communicate, think, or act? What comes first, and how is it determined for each individual?

1. Do we communicate, think, or act?

In a conventional, industrial society, we are conditioned to think first, act second, and only then communicate from that place. Has that conscious, sensory, innate part of us fallen asleep like Sleeping Beauty? Or has it merely drifted into a temporary slumber? Or perhaps it wandered off on its own, searching for a way back to its contact GPS location? It was deemed unnecessary because it disrupts and refuses to conform to a rigid society and environment.

Beneath the surface of the sea (of that very iceberg), our pre-reflective intelligence communicates with the environment every single millisecond. It pulses through muscle tone, breath, the nervous system, and the gravitational pull of the floor.

2. What comes first?

First comes BEING and PURE PRESENCE (0 point). That is the massive volume hidden beneath the surface of the water.

Our bodies "read" space, geometry, and other people (just like in the universal tango embrace) completely free from cognitive analysis. Only when this energy ascends to the very tip of the iceberg does it transform into conscious thought.

The body connected through the pelvis into the feet, around which roots develop, combined with conscious breathing that awakens and massages our internal contact surfaces. That subtle, internal embrace within our own body.

Do we read through our basic, innate decoding, observation, and internal listening? Or do we act solely through the rigid patterns of society, fleeting emotions, or the mere urge to react—perhaps withdrawing into verbal defense or a silent departure?

3. How is it determined for each individual?

It depends on how firmly one is locked inside the armor of control.

• People who live exclusively on the very tip of the iceberg are "destined" to constantly analyze, worry, and count steps (mechanical performance).

• People who develop somatic intelligence are allowed to dive beneath the surface, where motion and touch become a natural, pre-reflective consequence of internal alignment and a universal language through which we can dance and communicate with those present.

“Dance ceases to be a mechanical performance and becomes pure being the exact moment the conscious mind surrenders control to the pre-reflective intelligence of the body.” — Jelena Somogyi

🇭🇷 Identitet između konstrukcije i dekonstrukcije: bivanje u trenutku sada

Tko čini prvu kretnju, rađa prvu misao i osjeća prvu potrebu?

U prvom trenutku buđenja, prije nego što posegnemo za mobitelom ili rokovnikom, potpuno smo dekonstruirani. Nema titula, nema uloga, nema društvenih skripti. Postoji samo čisti dah, pritisak tijela o madrac i goli osjećaj postojanja.

S prvim pokretom i kretnjom mi smo u trenutku sada. No, već s prvim korakom iz kreveta, naš um počinje skakati. Obaveze, planovi, strahovi i očekivanja stvaraju golemu konstrukciju onoga što mislimo da moramo biti kako bismo proživjeli dan i vrijedili.

Udahom, spoznajom za mir i voljom za osmjehom otvaramo prozore i vrata mogućnostima suživota bivanja, temeljima.

Teret konstrukcije kroz dan

S tim teškim oklopom i nemirnim umom sjedamo uz prvu čašu vode ili prvu jutarnju kavu.

Dolazimo na posao, a na kraju i na aktivnosti. Pokušavamo funkcionirati kroz konstrukcije koje smo sami izgradili ili koje su nam nametnute.

No, tango i život ne trpe konstrukcije. Naše tijelo i um pod tim pritiskom postaju kruti i lako lomljivi. Um zatrpan kalkulacijama i analizama koraka gubi kontakt s podlogom, a time i s vlastitom bîti.

Dekonstrukcija i rekonstrukcija za trenutak sada

Tango je povratak upravo na ono jutarnje, ogoljeno stanje. On zahtijeva potpunu dekonstrukciju, a potom i rekonstrukciju – skidanje slojeva lažne sigurnosti i društvenih maski.

Kroz svjesni oslonac stopala o pod i puls daha koji se širi kroz zdjelicu, mi se ljuštimo od svega suvišnog. Vraćamo se onoj prvoj, iskonskoj kretnji. Tek tada, kada um umiri svoje skokove i spusti se u tijelo, ostvarujemo čisto bivanje u trenutku sada.

Kada se konstrukcija otpusti, a dekonstrukcija nas ogoli do onoga što uistinu jesmo, naši se unutarnji zupčanici ponovno usklađuju u ritmu suosjećajne sinkronizacije. Tada više ne igramo uloge. 

Postajemo pokret. 

Postajemo život. 

Otvorenih očiju i slobodnog daha.

“Tango je povratak upravo na ono jutarnje, ogoljeno stanje.” - Jelena Somogyi

🇬🇧 Identity Between Construction and Deconstruction: Being in the Present Moment

Who makes the first movement, gives birth to the first thought, and feels the first need?

In the first moment of waking, before we reach for the phone or planner, we are completely deconstructed. There are no titles, no roles, no social scripts. There is only pure breath, the pressure of the body against the mattress, and the bare feeling of existence.

With the first movement and gesture, we are in the present moment. But already with the first step out of bed, our mind begins to jump. Obligations, plans, fears, and expectations create a vast construction of what we think we must be in order to live through the day and have value.

With a breath, an awareness for peace, and the will for a smile, we open windows and doors to the possibilities of coexistence of being, to the foundations.

The Burden of Construction Through the Day

With this heavy armor and restless mind, we sit with our first glass of water or first morning coffee. We arrive at work, and eventually at our activities. We try to function through constructions we have built ourselves or that have been imposed on us.

But tango and life do not tolerate constructions. Our body and mind, under this pressure, become rigid and easily breakable. A mind burdened with calculations and analysis of steps loses contact with the ground, and with it, with its own essence.

Deconstruction and Reconstruction for the Present Moment

Tango is a return precisely to that morning, stripped state. It requires complete deconstruction, and then reconstruction — the removal of layers of false security and social masks.

Through conscious support of the foot on the ground and the pulse of breath spreading through the pelvis, we peel away everything unnecessary. We return to that first, primordial movement.

Only then, when the mind calms its jumps and descends into the body, do we achieve pure being in the present moment.

When construction is released, and deconstruction strips us down to what we truly are, our inner gears realign in the rhythm of compassionate synchronization.

Then we no longer play roles.
We become movement.
We become life.
With open eyes and free breath.

“Tango returns us to that original, unmasked morning state.” - Jelena Somogyi

Thank you for reading and navigating through the awareness of the body, the dissolution of social constructions, and the space of pure being in the present moment.

🇭🇷 Ples i tehnika / Plesnost i tehnika

Jesi li se ikada zapitao/la zašto je tango više od plesa?

„Tehnika u tangu ne služi da nas procjenjuje,
nego da nam omogući slobodu pokreta i izražavanja.“
— Jelena Somogyi

Ples nije tehnika.
Tango Argentino nije samo tehnika.
Ne trebate imati savršenu tehniku da biste plesali.

Plesnost je ono što nas vodi i povezuje.
Tehnika omogućuje lakše, slobodnije i jasnije kretanje.

Tehnika je most.
Između nas i glazbe.
Između nas i partnera.

Plesnost pomaže u snalaženju s tehnikom.
Ples ne dolazi iz razumijevanja oblika, ravnoteža i dinamika.

Tehnika služi kako bi ples bio bez napora i izražajan, te kako bi se plesači bolje i lakše razumjeli.

"Ples ne dolazi iz razumijevanja oblika, ravnoteža i dinamika."— Jelena Somogyi

Malo dijete već može plesati.
Velikim umjetnicima se divimo zbog njihove tehnike, ali njihov nas ples dodiruje emotivno.
Posebno ples u kojem je težnja komunikacija, kao u argentinskom tangu.

Ponekad je za ples tango potreban samo jedan korak — onaj prema sebi. PokreTTango otvara prostor za tijelo, glazbu i svjesni pokret.

Ples nije fizički.
Točnije — nije samo fizički pokret.

Čisto fizičko vježbanje uobičajeno je u sportu, gdje je cilj rezultat.
Umjetnički ples ne teži takvom rezultatu. On teži izražavanju.

Pritiskanje klavirskih tipki nije nužno glazba.
Samo kretanje u prostoru nije nužno ples.

Ples nije fizički napor. On predstavlja lakoću.
To, naravno, ne znači da nije bilo napora za njegovo stvaranje.

Hvala vam na čitanju i plovidbi kroz svjesnost tijela, ravnotežu tehnike i plesnosti te prostor čistog bivanja u sadašnjem trenutku.

🇬🇧 Dance and Technique / Danceability and Technique

Have you ever wondered why tango is more than just a dance?

“Technique in tango does not exist to judge us,
but to grant us the freedom of movement and expression.”
— Jelena Somogyi

Dance is not technique.
Tango Argentino is not just technique.
You do not need to have perfect technique to dance.

Danceability is what guides and connects us.
Technique enables easier, freer, and clearer movement.

Technique is a bridge.
Between us and the music.
Between us and the partner.

Danceability helps in navigating through technique.
Dance does not come from understanding forms, balances, and dynamics.

Technique serves to make dance effortless and expressive, and to help dancers understand each other better and more easily.
Dance does not come from understanding forms, balances, and dynamics. — Jelena Somogyi

A small child can already dance.
We admire great artists for their technique, but their dance touches us emotionally.
Especially a dance where the aspiration is communication, as in Argentine tango.

Sometimes, all it takes for tango dance is a single step — the one toward oneself. PokreTTango opens up the space for the body, music, and conscious movement

Sometimes, all it takes for tango dance is a single step — the one toward oneself. PokreTTango opens up the space for the body, music, and conscious movement.

Dance is not physical.
More precisely — it is not just physical movement.

Pure physical exercise is common in sports, where the goal is a result.
Artistic dance does not strive for such a result. It strives for expression.

Pressing piano keys is not necessarily music.
Mere movement through space is not necessarily dance.

"Dance is not physical exertion. It represents lightness.
This, of course, does not mean there was no effort involved in creating it." — Jelena Somogyi

Thank you for reading and navigating through the awareness of the body, the balance between technique and danceability, and the space of pure being in the present moment.
