In this banter I explore the (un)friendliness of the social tango scene and the different camps that people fall into regarding this topic. The topic was sparked by a recent article (https://therhinestone.medium.com/i-went-to-my-first-milonga-lets-talk-about-it-2a4a93192d2b ) and interview I had with Elena Rovito (https://link.chtbl.com/O109KHbx ), a zouk dancer who had a negative first time experience at a milonga. The discussion delves into the responsibility of the tango community in creating a welcoming environment for newcomers and practical ways we can bridge the gap between advanced dancers and beginners.Join my private FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworldSign up for my weekly NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.imsotango.com/Questions/comments?
