The Tango Banter

Overcoming the Inner Critic: How to Enjoy Tango Without the Pressure


Listen Later

You’re dancing, lost in the music… except you’re not. Instead, your mind is running a full critique: "That step was off. My embrace is weird. Do they even like dancing with me?" Sound familiar?


Self-criticism is something every dancer faces, but how much of it is actually useful—and how much is just getting in your way? In this episode, I unpack why we’re so hard on ourselves in tango, how perfectionism can become a trap, and what actually works when dealing with that inner critic.


Have you ever watched a video of yourself and cringed? Or had a tanda where all you could focus on was what wasn’t working? Let’s talk about it—drop your thoughts in the comments.
