Tango Performances: essential or overrated?

In this episode, I explore the role of performances in tango, especially from the perspective of social dancers. While many tango enthusiasts find performances irrelevant or even off-putting, there’s a deeper conversation about how performances and social dancing intersect.


I dive into the challenges of stage fright, what makes a performance engaging or cringe-worthy, and why some dancers avoid them altogether. If you've ever been curious about performing or simply want to understand what makes a good tango performance, this episode breaks it all down from both the audience’s and the dancer's viewpoint.
