Staying Grounded #15 - Is Tango a Community?

When dancers say “the tango community,” do we really mean community—or just a roomful of friendly strangers?
Amanda, Melody, and Jon pick apart what makes a real support network, why friendships shift when careers, kids, or pandemics intrude, and whether the embrace itself can fool us into feeling closer than we are.

In this episode

Community defined: geographic, interest-based, and true support circles
Why tango cohorts vanish—and how to stay when your friends move on
Vulnerability & reciprocity: the chemistry behind friendships that last
Parents, newcomers, retirees: can one scene meet every life phase?
Your turn: is what happens on the floor real connection…or context?
