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.

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 various Dance in Conversation events sent their videos. It was moving to hear their voices and messages.


So here we are, all together, expressing our longings and our best wishes for 2022.


Happy New Year!

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 your communities.

This approach is a way of expressing feelings, listening, acknowledging, and empathize fully. It's a caring dialogue.


Thank you for listening.

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 exploring in-depth in the course “Beyond the surface. Tango and the Art of Communication that brings us closer”.
