About this episode

In this episode, we dive into our experiences at the Caltech Tango Festival and the LA Tango Marathon. We talk about the different vibes, dancer levels, and social dynamics at each event. We also touch on our personal anxieties and the unique challenges of dancing with advanced partners.

Plus, we explore how tango can be a haven for the socially awkward, providing a controlled space for connection. Finally, we discuss the competition between events and how music and DJing set the tone.
