Why is tango "so hard?" Check out this episode where my guest offers some interesting insights on this question.

This week I'm joined by a tanguero who's been dancing for well over two decades. In the 90s, he studied with original cast members from Forever Tango, and also worked with a number of other masters including the great Carlos Gavito.

Today, he’s based in Connecticut, where he helped establish the Tango Sueño Academy. For over 12 years he's been organizing classes and events in the Greenwich, New Haven, and Hartford metropolitan areas. And he also helps run the annual Connecticut Tango Festival. On top of that, he makes regular trips to Buenos Aires to further his tango dancing and teaching techniques.

If you're new to tango, you'll probably feel your heart racing the moment you show up to your first few milongas. Or if you're a shy person like me, going to a milonga in a new place might make you a little nervous. If you can relate to that, then keep listening.

If you're new to tango and struggling, or trying to convince someone to start tango, then this episode is for you.

My guest today is originally from Buenos Aires, but is now based in San Pedro, California. She started dancing tango in 2004, and almost immediately fell in love with it! Soon after that, she found herself dedicating more and more of her time studying and sharing tango.

In 2009, she opened her own studio where she teaches classes and hosts weekly milongas. On top of that, she organizes regular tango/sightseeing tours to Buenos Aires!

First impressions are powerful, but they don't tell the whole story. This is especially true when it comes to meeting new dancers...
