4 key tactics for attracting good dances at the milonga
This conversation revolves around our recent experience at The Thing, a yearly tango marathon in Portland, OR. We discuss our personal experiences and observations, highlighting the challenges and strategies we used to get dances.
We emphasize the importance of moving around the venue, being proactive in initiating conversations and connections, and understanding the dynamics of the dance floor. The conversation also touches on the clickish nature of some tango communities and the spectrum of desirability in the dance scene.

If I started from scratch as a tango dancer now, this is what I would do
Both Alex and I started tango more than 10 years ago. Certain things have definitely changed over the past decade, but in other ways, tango is just as challenging as ever. We chat about the things we would do differently if we were going to start all over again, and other things that we would definitely do again.
If YOU were to start over, what would you do differently/the same?

Unfriendliest aspects of tango EXPOSED
In this banter I explore the (un)friendliness of the social tango scene and the different camps that people fall into regarding this topic.
The topic was sparked by a recent article (https://therhinestone.medium.com/i-went-to-my-first-milonga-lets-talk-about-it-2a4a93192d2b ) and interview I had with Elena Rovito (https://link.chtbl.com/O109KHbx ), a zouk dancer who had a negative first time experience at a milonga.
The discussion delves into the responsibility of the tango community in creating a welcoming environment for newcomers and practical ways we can bridge the gap between advanced dancers and beginners.
