Dance in Conversation

In 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 your communities.

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

Thank you for listening.

We 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 with other people", Madeline Lees, community leader.

"I feel like the depth's brought to the surface. These conversations are so inspiring", Alla Petcheniouk, tango dancer.

Thank you.

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

With 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. Veronica took our hand and led us to new insights about those complex relationships that occur on the dance floor.

Sergio Acosta & Ieva Kelpsaite got together (with no Zoom!) to talk about the art of relationships, communication, presence and how tango helps us to embrace the notion of love as a skill.

The topic came about as we are re-launching the site ievakelpsaite.com a new window to discover and learn about relationships.

It is also, of course, an invitation to get to know Ieva Kelpsaite's story and her professional offer as a qualified relationship coach.

Enjoy!

The first episode of Dance in Conversation Podcast had to be all about the invitation to dance. Miradas and cabeceos in tango is a topic we wanted to explore, rather than debate, however, we didn’t imagine how deep this conversation would go. You wanna dance? Make sure you listen!
