Are you still a student… or have you become a dancer?
In this episode, I reflect on the long arc between learning tango and owning it - and why so many of us feel like we’re never quite ready.
We talk about:
- That feeling of not being good enough… even after years of classes.
- The temptation to stay in “practice mode” - even at the milonga.
- And the quiet shift that happens when you finally let go of trying to be perfect… and start dancing for real.
This isn’t about technique drills or tips.
It’s a meditation on self-perception, permission, and the moment you realize the only diploma that matters is the one you give yourself.
If you’ve ever caught yourself working instead of dancing…
Or hesitated to go to a festival because you thought you weren’t ready…
This conversation is for you.
