The Curious Tanguero - A Tango podcast for Tangueros
After 13 years of studying and dancing argentine tango, I wrote down a few important things that I found helpful. I share them with you, and I hope you can share them with others. Maybe this way we can bring more smiles and create more beautiful moments. I am NOT a tango teacher. In this podcast, I simply share what worked for me with you.

I wanted to share my thoughts on an online tango musicality course I recently took that really stood out: The Complete Tango Musicality Formula.
To access the Free webinar ''Mastering Tango Musicality: 4 Secrets To More Creative Dancing'' go here: https://bit.ly/4secretstangomusicality
I decided to take this course because I often found myself too focused on the steps and not enough on truly flowing with the music. Sometimes, tango music just felt like a confusing bowl of sound, and I struggled to anticipate what was coming next in the song. I knew that understanding the music was key to creating a great dance, both for leaders and followers, but I thought my intuition would be enough. Finally, I put my assumptions asided and decided to dive deeper and improve my musicality—and this course didn’t disappoint.

The first part of the interview with Antonella Terrazas. In this part of the interview we’ll start by exploring her early years and then cover what elements of other disciplines can help you in your tango, and what it means to adjust to your partner but not in a submissive way. We’ll also discuss the benefits of working without a fixed partner. I particularly enjoyed her answers when it comes to dancing or practising with someone that is not such a good fit.

The third part of the interview with Oa Metzner. In this part of the interview we’ll cover resistance, density, lightness and heaviness in argentine tango. We’ll also cover how Oa would start again if she was starting today from zero, and we dived deeper into the role of processed emotional baggage in our dance. Finally, we closed by touching a bit on the importance of alignment and feet articulation and the difference between leading and following from the outskirts of the body vs leading from the core.
If you haven’t heard the previous episodes, I invite you to listen to them too, before or after this episode. They were eye-opening for me, and I hope they can do the same for you.

Part 1, interview with Oa Metzner: In this part of the interview we discussed what the term ‘social tango’ actually means for social dancers like me and you, what helps tango dancers improve, and then we dived into biomechanics. Finally, and this was a wonderful eye-opening part of the interview for me, we discussed the basis of connection.
