Episode 8 aired on August 29, 2018 and featured Amy Yang; a dancer, teacher and family therapist who has been involved with the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School nearly since its inception. A beautiful tango follower and leader, Amy has taught group & private lessons, helped run innumerable small and large events and makes gorgeous tango clothes as well. In this episode, she talks about “active listening” as both a tool in family therapy and a communication method that everyone can use. We look at how similar “active listening” is to lead-and-follow communication in tango improvisation.
