153. Comparing learning different dance styles: Argentine Tango vs. Ballroom & Latin (Dancesport)

I haven't spoken on the podcast yet about my personal experience learning dancing. At university, I took part in dancesport, which is competitive ballroom and latin dancing; and in the last few years I have been learning to dance tango. I am struck by the differences in philosophies, skill sets, values, and learning cultures between these dance styles, so I wanted to share my experience with you.

Enjoy the episode.
