The easiest kind of teacher on earth!
I spent 10 years of my life teaching in various settings. I learned a lot about the skill of teaching and honestly, that is why I don’t aspire to become a Tango teacher. Recently I discovered how much easier it can be to be a…

Why am I doing this?
“Thank you for doing this for the community” he told me referring to my blog posts. To be honest I didn’t know how to react. All this started like a joke. I started by posting small texts on Facebook for my friends and as the discussions led to new texts…
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 them more musical than others.…
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…

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
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
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…
