Very interesting and well done. For me the most useful part was to know what advanced leaders look for in a dancer. Thank you for your work, thank you for helping the people to understand easily something so deep and elusive, I read both your books and I’m waiting for the new tango tips!!!!

– Barbara Martinini

”It’s a good book for ladies who have been dancing for a while already. It helps you to take responsibility of having a good time in a milonga and not beeing a victim of external events or your mood. It also deepens the understanding of the elements that make your and your partner’s dance enjoyable, connected and musical. It also gives some very important tips that can help you in taking your dance to the next level. The fact that part of the information is based on a survey is always a bonus.”

– Raija Aittakumpu-Hydén

”There is not enough time to talk about all aspects of tango during lessons. The complexity of tango is so wide/huge. One of the most important parts to improve your dance is off course to practice/dance. But to dance with your own partner is not sufficient. So if you want to dance more in milongas, this program will give you a new point of view on the entire ceremony and will help you to dance more. The program even contains some interesting information that could improve your dance or at least give you some ideas to think of or discuss and ask your teachers.”

– Jana Petrikova

About the book

With the input of thousands of tango followers and leaders, this book sheds light on how leaders choose their dance partners at milongas and how followers dance more when they want to, helping you make the most of every night.

A couple of years ago, a woman approached me.

She’d been into tango for quite some time, invested a lot in classes, events, and tango travel. She frequented milongas, and her experiences were a mixed bag – sometimes great, other times downright frustrating.
“I can’t figure out why nobody asks me to dance. Do you have any insights? Don’t worry, you can be straight with me. I’m just tired of this,” she confided.
I responded to her question, but honestly, it was more of an educated guess. Over the next few years, I mulled over that answer, and it left me with a lingering feeling that something crucial was missing. The same issue cropped up repeatedly in my conversations with others.
It wasn’t long before I realized that, like me, most people were operating on assumptions—assumptions that seemed entirely logical and self-evident:
“Men just want to dance with the young and beautiful.”
“He’s not dancing with me because I’m a beginner.”
“Those folks over there? They think they’re the tango superstars; they’re just here to show off.”
However, my mind tends to work a little differently. I have a penchant for challenging my own assumptions, for putting them to the test to see if they hold water.
So, I made a decision to approach this topic with fresh eyes, like a beginner. I embarked on a mission to ask over 16,000 social tango dancers why they choose to dance with some people, why they avoid dancing with others, and what steps they take to dance more.
The results surprised me, challenging my assumptions.

Ιn this book, I share with you the secrets, tips, advice, and patterns I discovered so that you can have a much better time in each milonga.
