Dancing Past Doubt: intimidation's role ...

IMSO Tango
About this episode

There are many things out there we could learn how to do, and plenty of them we don’t really care to… But then there are other things (like trying partner dancing, or rollerskating, or surfing) that trigger a particular blend of longing and intimidation when we witness someone else doing it.

We feel like we would love to do it so much, but there is just no way we ever could… This banter is about THAT feeling and my own recent experience with it.
