The Tango Banter

What We Don’t Talk About in Tango


Listen Later

Some dynamics in tango are so normalized, we stop seeing them - until something shakes us awake.

This episode explores the unspoken power structures that shape our community: who gets centered, who stays silent, and why certain behaviors are tolerated for so long. It’s not about one incident. It’s about a pattern. One we’ve all participated in, whether we meant to or not.

Through reflection and shared experiences, I look at the deeper questions behind the discomfort: How does power move in a tango space? What do we risk when we speak up? And what does real cultural change ask of us?

This conversation isn’t easy - but it’s necessary if we want tango to be more than just beautiful on the surface.


Tango is more than steps. It’s a reflection of who we are - and how we show up for each other on the dance floor.
