About this episode

Today I dive into a difficult but important conversation about power dynamics and respect in the tango world. Prompted by a recent public incident during a performance, I explore how moments like this expose deeper issues within professional and social tango relationships.


I share my personal reactions, insights from the community, and reflections on how we, as dancers, can navigate these situations. Tune in to hear what this means for tango moving forward and why it's a wake-up call for all of us.
