Dance in Conversation
8 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -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.

Special episode: The best for 2022 from and for the tango community
December 30, 2021 13:48 - 11 minutes - 16.3 MBTo welcome the new year I invited several people from the tango community to record themselves and share one highlight from 2021 and one hope for the coming year. Because I sent the invitation just before Christmas I had very little hope that I would get any response. Some of you actually expressed that you wouldn’t be able to do it. Even Ieva, my creative partner, was so much involved already with her family in London. But, to my surprise, six dear friends who have been participating in v...
Modelling a caring dialogue
September 07, 2021 16:39 - 24 minutes - 33.8 MBIn this episode, Ieva Kelpsaite and Sergio Acosta practised a framework for conversations that enables a space of safety and mutual appreciation and understanding. It is a model that sounds simple but it can be challenging due to our past, traumas, education, and all the conditioning that has a huge impact on the way we see and express ourselves today. It is a framework, nonetheless, that can be used and practised to lead sensitive conversations with your partner, your teams, and even in yo...
Presence
August 30, 2021 23:02 - 4 minutes - 6.49 MBWe are moved by the words expressed by members of the tango community who have found in our events space for deep presence and connection. "There is a rhythm in the flow that's come out of your groups, which is fascinating", Patricia Nunn, tango teacher and psychotherapist. "We are starved for connection, communication... and a talk like this... you kind of want to hold onto it", Veronica Toumanova, tango teacher. "It's been wonderful... to be able to reflect, analyze and make contact wit...

Beyond the surface
August 08, 2021 17:37 - 20 minutes - 28.2 MBTango offers a model that could allow us to change problematic dynamics in our relationships. In tango we learn to be present, move with energy and connect at levels beyond what’s on the surface. This is a conversation that started with tension and bad posture and how our body speaks more eloquently than we think. Tango, of course, was again a magnifying glass for us to see a bit more clearly what prevents us from having genuine communication with our partner. This is the subject we’ll be...
Veronica Toumanova: Love is not enough
July 25, 2021 19:56 - 37 minutes - 51.6 MBWith enormous clarity, the writer and tango teacher Veronica Toumanova dives deep into the challenges of practising tango with a partner. Whether your tango partner is a friend or the love of your life, some rules are essential to make it work.

June 14, 2021 07:00 - 41 minutes - 56.5 MBThe first episode of Dance in Conversation Podcast had to be all about the invitation to dance.
