I don’t pick outfits. I pick fabrics.

I choose what to wear based on how the fabric and construction of a garment feels and sits on my body. That decision alone changes my attitude for the night.

Silk makes me feel luminous and flowy.
Stretch jersey gives me confidence and freedom. Velvet feels indulgent and grounded, especially in winter.

What you wear isn’t just about how it looks- it’s about how it lets you express yourself.

In tango, we live a lifetime in four songs.

The DJ quietly shapes the night through tandas, each one a short story with its own mood, arc, and emotional weight. Ten minutes to listen, respond, connect, and let something unfold.

Here’s how tandas work.

Some cozy winter tango thoughts ❄️ May this season remind you to slow down and appreciate the pause. The contrast between movement and stillness, much like the changing seasons, allows us to appreciate movement more deeply, reminding us that stillness can be just as expressive as motion.

Some must have tango accessories! 💃🏻 What do you always keep on hand?

Not only do I enjoy putting together a beautiful outfit for tango, but the accessories really tie it all together! I have also been getting into nail art recently as well, and I feel like it’s a little jeweled accessory that never leaves me 🤭💅🏼

I hid in the bathroom when I got to my first milonga and gave myself a pep talk in the mirror. I hope these tips make your milonga experience a little less intimidating!

The biggest shift in my dancing has not come from learning new steps, but rather becoming confident in myself as an artist. Belief in your own body makes a huge difference in landing like a question mark, and landing like you mean it. To me, true confidence comes from repetition- practicing so many times that failure is impossible. And if we fail (and we will), then being confident in our ability to adapt and readjust. In the mean time, here are some of my confidence tips that you can immediately put into practice!

Dressing up is one of the things I most look forward to in tango! It’s an amazing outlet for creativity, however I also know many have their “tango uniform” and always stick to that! Here are some tips on dressing for the different dancing occasions you may encounter in the tango world.

Send this to a beginner that you think may need some guidance 💃🏻🕺🏼

Every tanda is a mirror asking us how we want to show up. It demands that we confront our strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between. And if we aren’t scared to look in the mirror, we can become more radiant than we thought possible.😌

How has tango changed your life?

Until the next tanda,

One of our most interesting social practices in Argentine Tango is the “cabeceo.” While asking someone to dance verbally is a common practice, cabeceo is the traditional way for a leader to ask someone to dance in the milonga, and it is still widely used. Dancers scan the room, looking for a partner, and the followers return this silent invitation with a “mirada.” This sustained eye contact is the follower’s way the follower showing the leader that he/she is interested in dancing this tanda.

Once the leader and follower gesture that they acknowledge each other’s gaze, the follower should remain sitting to avoid an awkward mix up! The leader then escorts the follower to the dance floor.

It’s super satisfying to have a successful cabeceo/ mirada from across the room! Another reason why I love cabeceo is because it gives the follower a way to decline a leader without out having to verbally reject them. If a follower doesn’t return the gaze once, that doesn’t mean no forever, it may be that she is looking for someone else in particular to dance that tanda with, or honestly, she is just thinking about something else entirely. 😅

Cabeceo may be strange at first, but it is definitely an appreciated tradition!

🕵🏻‍♀️ CONFIDENTIAL FILE 001: MILONGA HYGIENE
Declassified for beginners, appreciated by everyone.

Tango is a close-contact world. Closer than most people realize before their first embrace. And while we spend years perfecting our technique, there’s a whole category of “unspoken essentials” that rarely make it into the syllabus.

That’s what File 001 is for.

Inside this report, we cover the basics that keep the milonga comfortable, elegant, and enjoyable for everyone: managing sweat with grace, keeping your breath fresh inside the embrace, and approaching personal hygiene as a small but meaningful act of courtesy.

Nothing dramatic. Nothing judgmental. Just the things every dancer wishes someone had whispered to them in their first month.

Because confidence grows faster when you feel clean, prepared, and at ease in your own skin.
