The Tango Banter

Would you pay for a guaranteed tanda with anyone you wanted?In this episode, I dig into the world of taxi dancers - a subject that never fails to divide opinions. For some, it’s a lifeline: a bridge to the tandas they dream about in communities where imbalance makes dancing scarce. For others, it feels like a line crossed, where the social fabric of tango gives way to transactions.From Buenos Aires origins to festival token systems, from ambassadors to controversies, taxi dancers raise bigger questions: how much do we value access, and what happens when money enters a space built on cabeceo and mystery?✨ If you’ve ever wondered how far we’ll go for the tanda we want - and what that says about tango today - this banter is for you.🎧 Want support as you grow in your own tango?Join me inside IMSO Tango School Online — try it free for 30 days: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

What keeps us coming back to tango - even after the moments when we’re ready to quit?In this episode, I sit down with Mitra Martin to explore the cycles of belonging, the archetypes we step into, and the surprising ways tango changes us over time. From the first spark at La Viruta to creating spaces that welcome beginners, Mitra’s journey opens up big questions about growth, friendship, and how we keep the dance alive.And yes - she even shares a new game designed to help dancers push past “just practicing” into something more playful, creative, and lasting.✨ If you’ve ever wondered what keeps tango fresh year after year, this conversation is for you.Learn more about the Tango Fairytale Game here: https://mitramartin.notion.site/tangofairytalegameUse code IMSOTANGO to get $20 off: https://mitramartin.gumroad.com/l/original-tfg-deck🎧 Want support as you grow in your own tango?Join me inside IMSO Tango School Online — try it free for 30 days: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

In this episode, I share the moments that made me wonder - the partner who once felt magical but later left me restless… and the tanda that turned from electric to empty overnight.We look at two forces always at play: the path of growth and the seasonality of connection. Sometimes it’s technique that drifts us apart. Other times it’s history, friendship, or silence between tandas that changes everything.I don’t have a formula. What I’ve found is that these shifts are less about fault - and more about change itself. Tango keeps asking us: what do we value today, and how do we honor it?If you’ve ever sat out a dance you once would have jumped for - or felt the sting of someone else quietly moving on - this one’s for you.🎧 Want support as you navigate your own tango journey?

Tango can sometimes feel like high school all over again. The cliques, the cool kids’ tables, the silent rules of who gets invited and who gets ignored — all of these patterns shape our experience at the milonga.But what if we stopped taking them so personally and started seeing them for what they are - systems at play? Seating, body language, and rejection aren’t just random; they’re forces that structure the social game of tango.In this episode of The Tango Banter, I explore how these patterns show up, why they trigger so much of our teenage baggage, and how we can navigate them with strategy - without losing the joy of the dance.✨ If you’ve ever felt invisible at the milonga, anxious about where to sit, or stung by rejection that lingers for years, this one’s for you.👉 Subscribe for more weekly tango banter, and share your experiences in the comments - I’d love to hear your stories.📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

Why does tango make us care so much about our clothes? In this episode, I share my own phases - from hiding in all-black outfits, to chasing the “classic tango look” with slits and heels, to questioning what it really means to feel at home in what you wear.We look at the paradox: dressing to hide vs. dressing to attract - and how both can shape the way we feel and move. Clothing has both a functional impact on how we dance, and a psychological one that can be even more powerful.I don’t have a final answer. For most of us, it’s an evolving question: what makes us feel confident, expressive, and free on the dance floor?If you’ve ever walked into a milonga feeling awkward in your outfit… or found yourself dancing differently because of what you’re wearing… this one’s for you.Chicago visit info here: https://imsotango.com/events🎧 Want support as you find your voice in the dance?Join me inside IMSO Tango School Online — try it free for 30 days: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

In tango, who carries the responsibility for musicality - the leader, the follower, or both? In this episode, I reflect on my own evolution from follower to leader and explore how musicality feels different depending on your role.Why do some followers feel they’ve hit a ceiling in their expression? What do leaders discover when they finally follow? And how does dancing both roles change your understanding of music altogether?This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re doing “enough” musically - or if musicality might live somewhere deeper than technique.🎧 Want support as you find your voice in the dance?Join me inside IMSO Tango School Online - Try it free for 30 days: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

What happens when tango meets other dances? In this episode, I reflect on how exploring different dance styles shaped my understanding of tango more deeply than tango alone ever could.This isn’t about abandoning tradition. It’s about seeing tango with new eye - through contrast, through play, through movement that invites more range, more rhythm, more possibility.I talk about the myths of tango “purity,” the asymmetries in the embrace, and the surprising ways your body and technique evolve when you let other forms into your dance journey.Check out my fusion dance with Charles on my IG: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMs-I7zufOy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=cDZydWNjZjEzMGpi🎧 Ready to explore tango from more than one angle?Inside the IMSO Tango School, we go beyond technique - into history, musicality, and the layers that shape your personal style.👉 Join us - your first month’s on me: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

You’ve probably been there. The song ends, you break the embrace, and there’s this weird little pause. You know another song is coming - but right now, you’re face-to-face with a stranger… and you’re not sure what to say.Do you say something? Do you wait for them to speak first? Is it weird to compliment their shoes?In this episode, I talk about those in-between moments at the milonga - the little bits of conversation (or silence) that can feel unexpectedly awkward. Whether you love chatting or dread small talk, this is something every dancer has experienced.🎧 Let’s talk about how to navigate those moments - and maybe even enjoy them.🌟 And if you’re ready to level up your musicality, check out my private training series Dance the Music. It’s an 8-session package focused on helping you actually feel the difference between tango’s four big orchestras - D’Arienzo, Di Sarli, Troilo, and Pugliese - and reflect that in your dance.

We all long to belong. But what if the moment we finally do… we still don’t feel it?In this episode, I explore the emotional complexity of belonging in tango - what it means to feel part of a community, and why that feeling can slip away even when the invitation is clear.I reflect on personal moments - from sitting outside the “cool table” in Buenos Aires to unexpected ease at a fusion dance retreat - and ask:What if belonging isn’t a destination, but something we practice?What if it ebbs and flows, even after we’re “in”?This isn’t a list of how-tos. It’s a meditation on identity, insecurity, and the quiet ache to feel accepted. If you’ve ever sat at the edge of the milonga wondering where you fit, or if you’ve questioned your place even among friends—this episode is for you.🎧 Join me Tuesday, July 22 for DJ Basics: What Every Tango Dancer Needs to Know—a live webinar inside IMSO Tango School Online.🌀 Try the program FREE for 30 days → https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

What’s it really like to live and dance tango in Buenos Aires?In this special episode, I talk with Lee Litas - a journalist, dancer, and now full-time resident of Buenos Aires- about her journey from tango tourist to tango local. After visiting 14 times, Lee made the leap to move permanently, and shares what changed when she stopped visiting and started living the dance from the inside.We talk about:– Why she chose to move during the pandemic– The myths foreigners have about tango culture in Buenos Aires– What it’s like to experience “too much tango”– The importance of etiquette, codes, and floorcraftWhether you’ve been dreaming of your first trip to BA or are just curious what it really means to live tango every day, this conversation will open your eyes to a deeper layer of the culture.Follow Lee in IG @litasintotemptation🎧 Want to go deeper than just steps and technique?Join me inside IMSO Tango School Online — my monthly program for dancers who want to connect with tango on a deeper level, through musicality, culture, and personal expression.– Try it free for 30 days: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

Are you still a student… or have you become a dancer?In this episode, I reflect on the long arc between learning tango and owning it - and why so many of us feel like we’re never quite ready.We talk about:- That feeling of not being good enough… even after years of classes.- The temptation to stay in “practice mode” - even at the milonga.- And the quiet shift that happens when you finally let go of trying to be perfect… and start dancing for real.This isn’t about technique drills or tips.It’s a meditation on self-perception, permission, and the moment you realize the only diploma that matters is the one you give yourself.If you’ve ever caught yourself working instead of dancing…Or hesitated to go to a festival because you thought you weren’t ready…This conversation is for you.🎧 Want support as you find your voice in the dance?Join me inside IMSO Tango School Online - my monthly program for dancers who want to explore musicality, presence, and the emotional artistry of tango.- Try it free for 30 days: https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @imso_tango🎙 Listen to The Tango Banter: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DItT8LMWASb💃 Join the Facebook Community: facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld🎶 Free Lesson – 5 Things Every Dancer Should Know About Tango Music:imsotango.namastream.com/product/83152💬 Have questions?

Tango feels different depending on where you are - but is it the dance that changes, or is it us?In this episode, I reflect on what it was like to dance in Japan, and the questions it stirred up:What shapes a community’s embrace? How much do our cultural backgrounds shape the way we connect? And what happens when we stop seeing difference as wrong - and start seeing it as human?This isn’t a lesson in technique.It’s a reflection on culture, perception, and what we miss when we assume there's only one right way to dance.If you’ve ever walked into a milonga and felt slightly out of sync - or sensed a subtle shift in connection when dancing abroad - this conversation might feel familiar.🎧 Want to keep exploring these deeper layers of tango?You can join me inside IMSO Tango School Online - my monthly program where we dive into musicality, connection, and the art of dancing from the inside out.You can try it free for 30 days here - https://imsotango.com/online-school📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: http://imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @‌imso_tangoJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld💬 Have questions?

Politics and tango might seem like separate worlds—but are they really?In this final episode of the season, I’m diving into the messy, often uncomfortable reality of how political views—whether personal, community-based, or global—can shape who we dance with, who we avoid, and how we feel at the milonga. From awkward cabeceos to full-on community rifts, politics shows up in tango whether we like it or not.This is one of the spiciest episodes I’ve recorded yet, and I hope it sparks reflection—whether you agree, disagree, or find yourself somewhere in the middle.Tango music can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to.

Why do so many tango events fizzle out—even when they seem to be thriving?In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really takes to be a tango organizer. From the hidden financial stress to the emotional toll of community dynamics, I explore the real reasons so many events—and organizers—burn out.If you’ve ever wondered why your favorite milonga vanished, or considered organizing one yourself, this one’s for you.Musicality isn’t just about stepping on the beat—it’s about knowing how to listen and respond.

A lot of people think being a professional tango dancer means getting paid to do what you love. And in some ways, it is.But in this episode, I talk about the side most people don’t see—the pressure to always be “on,” the burnout, the financial stress, and the constant effort it takes to keep going. I also share why I was hesitant to go down this path, how I ended up here anyway, and what I’ve learned along the way.If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to make tango your career—or what it costs to keep the passion alive—this one’s for you.It’s hard to be objective about your own dancing.

Can competition and tango coexist? In this episode, I explore a question that makes many dancers uncomfortable: is there a place for competition in tango - or does it betray the spirit of the dance?Reflecting on my recent experience at the Southern California Tango Championship, I unpack what competition reveals (and conceals), why I used to resist it, and how it might actually serve tango’s evolution.Best of Caló Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09lFDSD2Vz63jTdfxkBGtE?si=67be9174ffe345dfMusicality isn’t just about stepping on the beat—it’s about knowing how to listen and respond.

There’s a fine line between connection and confusion on the tango floor. This week, we’re diving into the unspoken sensuality of tango—how it shows up, what it triggers, and where each of us draws the line.What’s considered “too much” might just depend on your mood, your phase of life, or the vibe of the tanda.

Tango is full of paradoxes. We get physically close, yet remain emotionally guarded. We crave connection, but many of us are introverts with social anxiety. So what kind of connections do we actually form through tango?In this episode of The Tango Banter, I’m diving into the weird and wonderful world of tango relationships—the ones that don’t exist in any other part of life.This isn’t about judging them—it’s about recognizing how much we learn about ourselves through the connections we form (and don’t form).Musicality isn’t just about stepping on the beat—it’s about knowing how to listen and respond.

What if the way you see yourself is shaping the way you dance—and the way others experience you at the milonga?Tango isn’t just about steps; it’s about presence. And yet, so many dancers hesitate, shrink, or second-guess themselves because they don’t feel they “look” the part. But does appearance really determine connection, or is something deeper at play?In this episode, I dive into the unspoken anxieties of body image in tango—how age, size, and self-perception shape our experience on the dance floor. I explore the invisible factors that make a dancer magnetic, the surprising ways confidence is built (or broken), and why the most unforgettable tandas have nothing to do with how you look in the mirror.If you’ve ever wondered whether you belong in tango the way you are, this one’s for you.It’s hard to be objective about your own dancing.That’s where I come in.

What if the real story of tango isn’t just in the milonga, but in the battle between generations, between rock and roll and bandoneóns, between what we inherit and what we create?In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Oliver Kolker to talk about his latest film, Tuve el Corazón, a story where tango and rock collide in 1970s Buenos Aires. We dive into why tango almost disappeared during that time, how music carries the weight of history, and why every great film about tango is really a film about life itself.Musicality isn’t just about stepping on the beat—it’s about knowing how to listen and respond.
