The Tango Banter

The Table You Long to Sit At | S4E4


Listen Later

We all long to belong. But what if the moment we finally do… we still don’t feel it?

In this episode, I explore the emotional complexity of belonging in tango - what it means to feel part of a community, and why that feeling can slip away even when the invitation is clear.

I reflect on personal moments - from sitting outside the “cool table” in Buenos Aires to unexpected ease at a fusion dance retreat - and ask:

What if belonging isn’t a destination, but something we practice?

What if it ebbs and flows, even after we’re “in”?

This isn’t a list of how-tos. It’s a meditation on identity, insecurity, and the quiet ache to feel accepted. If you’ve ever sat at the edge of the milonga wondering where you fit, or if you’ve questioned your place even among friends—this episode is for you.
