Description

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.
