Dance in Conversation
We met once face to face, with no distance or fear. We embraced the music and each other. Dancing showed the way to open our hearts and start a conversation.
When all dance floors were closed in 2020, we founded Dance in Conversation to keep our connections and discussions about tango going.
So, we started dancing with stories, talking with rhythm, and we began to embrace communication in all its forms.
This podcast is where life and tango are one. It’s yet another way to honour that goal of connecting and be together.
We are Sergio Acosta, a writer and a tango lover, and Ieva Kelpsaite, a tango dancer and relationship coach.
We hope you enjoy it.
