Latest Episodes

Sometimes tango gives you a tanda… and sometimes it gives you a book that feels like a milonga: funny, tender, a little awkward, and quietly brutal in the most human way.

  • As addictive as the dance itself

    This podcast offers a glimpse into the intricate world of social tango dancing. The host provides insightful commentary on the norms, traditions, and social hazards that are typically unspoken, bringing them to light for the first time. Drawing from her journey from novice to expert, as well as personal interviews with industry insiders, she creates a comprehensive guide on how to navigate, learn, and thrive in this small, highly rewarding (and often heartbreaking) world.

I put that into practice today and it’s helping al... more
