Why people start dancing tango
"In Tango, I have found 6 big underlying reasons people get into it.
This list is by no means comprehensive:
- to experience connection
- to get into a casual or significant relationship
- to experience community
- to engage in another recreation/ hobby
- to learn body skills and the experience that comes with moving and learning with the body
- and lastly, to actually learn Tango.
In other words, most people I have asked really are not learning Tango just for the learning, but some payoff – connection, relationship, community, recreation, and/ or body skills."
