Personal Stories

"‘Why did you start, and why did you stay?’

These questions invite dancers to share the moments that brought them to tango and the reasons it remains part of their lives.

Together, these stories form a collective narrative that celebrates tango’s role in connection, culture, and wellbeing — and they inspire others who have not yet discovered the dance."

We have been collecting personal tango stories

Your tango story can inspire someone’s first step! We’ve been gathering amazing stories at festivals across the UK — now we want yours.

Share why you started and why you stayed.
Help us show the public the magic of tango.
Fill in the form and be part of the movement!

Look out for us at upcoming weekend events — we’d love to hear from you in person!

It's a never ending journey. It challenges you, it can be a voyage of self discovery and through its social aspects and universality (danced in many countries) it can literally change your life.

“I love dancing with different people, the social side of it, the buzz you get from having a lovely dance with someone…”

“Meeting new people and the physical/mental challenge of learning whilst having fun”.

“It is all worth it for that magical tanda which is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in life. The embrace remains unbroken through the entire tanda. Time dissolves.”

“Tango provides social contact without words getting in the way”
