<p>A lot of people think being a professional tango dancer means getting paid to do what you love. And in some ways, it is.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>🎓 Try it free for 30 days—see if it’s right for you → https://imsotango.com/online-school</p><p><br></p><p>📌 Stay Connected & Learn More</p><p>🌍 Website: http://imsotango.com</p><p>📩 Email: [email protected]</p><p>📸 Instagram: @imso_tango</p><p><br></p><p>Join my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld</p><p><br></p><p>💬 Have questions?

<p>Can competition and tango coexist? In this episode, I explore a question that makes many dancers uncomfortable: is there a place for competition in tango - or does it betray the spirit of the dance?</p><p>Reflecting on my recent experience at the Southern California Tango Championship, I unpack what competition reveals (and conceals), why I used to resist it, and how it might actually serve tango’s evolution.</p><p><br></p><p>Best of Caló Spotify Playlist: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09lFDSD2Vz63jTdfxkBGtE?si=67be9174ffe345df">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09lFDSD2Vz63jTdfxkBGtE?si=67be9174ffe345df</a></p><p><br></p><p>Musicality isn’t just about stepping on the beat—it’s about knowing how to listen and respond. <strong>IMSO Tango School Online</strong> gives you a clear, structured way to learn phrasing, rhythm, and movement, so you don’t have to guess.</p><p>🎓 Try it free for 30 days—see if it’s right for you → <a href="https://imsotango.com/online-school">https://imsotango.com/online-school</a></p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Introduction to Miguel Calo and Tango Competitions</p><p>03:08 The Skepticism of Dance Competitions</p><p>08:23 Personal Experiences in Dance Championships</p><p>15:24 The Role of Competitions in Tango</p><p>21:45 Judging Criteria and the Essence of Tango</p><p>28:44 Reflections on Growth and Future Aspirations</p><p><br></p><p>📌 Stay Connected & Learn More</p><p>🌍 Website: <a href="http://imsotango.com">http://imsotango.com</a><br>📩 Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br>📸 Instagram: @imso_tango</p><p><br></p><p>Join my Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld">https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld</a></p><p>💬 Have questions?
