    Do I have it in me?

    A few days ago Dimitris posted a text that was arguing that musicality is not something that you have intuitively but rather a skill that you learn. A friend of mine commented below that she believed that there is something in some people that makes…

  • Easy assumptions

    Easy assumptions

    In one comment I received in a previous post one of the double role advocates was writing about all the different reasons why one should learn and dance both roles. In the end, she ended up saying that people who don’t want to dance with same-gender people must have some…

  • The quality-quantity paradox

    The quality-quantity paradox

    Last week I asked the blog readers community if they focus on having quantity or quality of tandas in their milonga experience. After gathering some answers a pattern started to emerge. People tend to focus on quantity in their first years and then on quality. To me, this makes perfect…

    It is a woman’s world.

    In a comment I received on my post about men in Tango, there was the suggestion that we don’t have enough good leaders and that followers turning to leaders will increase competition between leaders pushing them to get better. In theory, this argument sounds perfect. Indeed. In a market with…

    Tango and men in today’s world

    I started those posts with one analyzing the power of men based on numbers. I continued on the theme of men possibly feeling disconnected and unnecessary in Tango communities, and I finished by discussing the names of roles and the idea of authenticity concerning dancing the opposite gender role. In…

    A ridiculously biased, toxic man. Me!

    What I consider normal is not necessarily normal for you and vice versa. Normal is just a construct of our minds. Actually there is not just one “normal”, there are many “normals”. Yours, mine, the guy who just found the post by accident, the lady’s who is looking for a…

  • Roles, identities and… the catch

    Roles, identities and… the catch

    In most of the comments and arguments about roles, the common denominator is that when we involve the genders people tend to forget that we are talking about roles and not about identities. Take for example any actor in any movie. Let’s say Tom Hanks in the movie California. He…

  • Tango addicts and dealers

    Tango addicts and dealers

    If we, as dancers, are addicts, this makes the event organizers our “drug” dealers… our Tango-drug dealers. Especially the ones in our local community. They organize events where we can get our dose of Tandas. When there is a market opportunity, for example, an area or a time slot where there is no event some…

  • Men, sex and Tango

    Men, sex and Tango

    A common misconception as already mentioned is that people who dance Tango, do so because they are trying to find a love partner. Even worse some men might think it’s a nice opportunity to hook up with lots of women and spice up their sex life. I already wrote that these misconceptions often lead to…

  • Dialog vs fight

    Dialog vs fight

    Tango is also a social dance and being social means that it needs to integrate differences. It includes people from different cultures, backgrounds, nationalities, styles, etc., and brings them all together in its embrace. Its history is full of differences and disagreements between styles, orchestras, generations, etc. Being social means that inevitably there will be…
