Overcoming the Inner Critic: How to Enjoy Tango Without the Pressure

You’re dancing, lost in the music… except you’re not. Instead, your mind is running a full critique: "That step was off. My embrace is weird. Do they even like dancing with me?" Sound familiar?Self-criticism is something every dancer faces, but how much of it is actually useful—and how much is just getting in your way? In this episode, I unpack why we’re so hard on ourselves in tango, how perfectionism can become a trap, and what actually works when dealing with that inner critic.Have you ever watched a video of yourself and cringed? Or had a tanda where all you could focus on was what wasn’t working? Let’s talk about it—drop your thoughts in the comments.Southern California Tango Championship: https://socaltangochampionship.com/Watch Fred Astair: https://youtu.be/8n7R61gtSZw?si=SXrxNKzggeBT4S8T📌 Stay Connected & Learn More🌍 Website: imsotango.com📩 Email: connect@imsotango.com📸 Instagram: @‌imso_tangoJoin my Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld💬 Have questions?
