Plateauing in tango can feel frustrating, confusing, and surprisingly common—no matter how long you’ve been dancing. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to “hit a plateau” and why it often has less to do with talent and more to do with habits, comfort zones, and how we engage with our community.

We talk about the role competitions can play in creating focus and momentum, how inspiring teachers and teaching styles can reignite curiosity, and why dancing with a wider variety of partners is essential for long-term growth. From accommodating familiar habits to unintentionally locking ourselves into one way of dancing, we explore how plateaus form—and how to move past them with intention.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure of what’s next in your tango journey, this conversation offers perspective, encouragement, and practical ways to keep growing.

As always, we’d love to hear from you. Share your experiences with plateauing, what helped you move through it, or what questions you’re still wrestling with—drop them in the comments.
