The Tango Banter

What It Really Means to Be a Professional Dancer


Listen Later

A lot of people think being a professional tango dancer means getting paid to do what you love. And in some ways, it is.

But in this episode, I talk about the side most people don’t see—the pressure to always be “on,” the burnout, the financial stress, and the constant effort it takes to keep going. I also share why I was hesitant to go down this path, how I ended up here anyway, and what I’ve learned along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to make tango your career—or what it costs to keep the passion alive—this one’s for you.


It’s hard to be objective about your own dancing. That’s where I come in. Send me your dance videos through IMSO Tango School Online, and I’ll point out what’s working (and what’s not) with clear, constructive feedback.
