About this episode

This conversation revolves around our recent experience at The Thing, a yearly tango marathon in Portland, OR. We discuss our personal experiences and observations, highlighting the challenges and strategies we used to get dances. We emphasize the importance of moving around the venue, being proactive in initiating conversations and connections, and understanding the dynamics of the dance floor. The conversation also touches on the clickish nature of some tango communities and the spectrum of desirability in the dance scene.
