Tango Chemistry: developing intuition on...

IMSO Tango
About this episode

In this episode, I delve into the mysterious dynamics of tango chemistry, exploring how dancers navigate preferences for a more successful dance experience. I share my own personal preference and what I consider to be indicators of whether I would have good chemistry with someone or not.


Main points:

- The shape and tension of the embrace can indicate the level of the dancer and the comfort of the dance.

- Observing a dancer’s body can provide insights into their balance and alignment.

- Size of steps and embellishments can affect the dance and chemistry between partners.

- Developing intuition and gut instincts can help in choosing dance partners.

- Understanding preferences and making informed decisions can lead to a more satisfying tango experience.
