5 Things I Wish I Knew Before My First Milonga
If I could go back and whisper some advice to baby tango me… these would be the top five things I’d say:
It’s okay to just watch. You don’t have to dance every tanda. Observing is learning, too.
Don’t panic about making mistakes. Everyone has a first dance. Leaders are often kind and patient.
Yes, your feet might hurt. Bring backup shoes. Or foot spray. Or both. 😉
You don’t have to look perfect. Your energy matters more than your eyeliner.
Trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel good—say no. Tango is about connection and consent.
You’ll get more comfortable each time you go. Promise. ❤️
