We organize dedicated ‘double role’ tango events
where every participant knows how to (and likes to!) dance
both roles of Argentine Tango
What do our participants get from attending Totally in Tango events!
Discoveries from Dancing the Other Role in Tango When dancers start exploring the other role in tango — leading instead of following, or following instead of leading — the experience often opens a whole new world. Many share that it deepens empathy and understanding: learning what the other role feels like brings more sensitivity, patience, and respect in the embrace. Some describe following as a rare and precious moment of surrender, while others find leading to be unexpectedly creative, empowering, and freeing. There’s also the joy of expanded possibilities — more potential dance partners, more freedom at the milonga, and a new sense of balance on the dance floor. For some, the challenge lies in navigation and orientation; for others, it’s about letting go of control or trusting their partner fully. What stands out most is how dancing both roles changes perspectives. It shifts the focus from knowing or performing to truly listening — to oneself, the partner, and the music. And beyond the technical and emotional discoveries, there’s a growing sense of community: more people dancing both roles, more smiles, and more equality in the embrace. Tango becomes richer when both sides of the dance are explored — two roles, one dialogue, shared joy.
Expectations at Double-Role Tango Events Across the responses, a strong and consistent picture emerges of what dancers hope for — and often find — at double-role tango events. Participants expect a more relaxed and informal atmosphere, both socially and aesthetically: flat shoes, less pressure to perform, and freedom to dress and express themselves differently. Compared to traditional events, double-role spaces are seen as friendlier, more playful, and more human. There is a clear expectation of openness and inclusivity. Gender is largely irrelevant to role choice, invitations feel more natural, and dancers hope to connect as people first — not as bodies, labels, or roles. Many value the possibility to invite and decline freely, without social penalties, and to dance across genders, levels, and identities. Double-role events are also associated with greater balance and well-being: more dancing and fewer hierarchies less physical strain by alternating roles more space to grow into a second role without pressure less emphasis on age, body type, nationality, or sexualised dynamics Music quality, comfort, care, and thoughtful organisation are mentioned as essential — contributing to a sense of safety, hospitality, and trust. Overall, traditional tango events are often described as the world as it is, while double-role tango events represent the world as many dancers wish it could be: more equal, more curious, more connected — and deeply fulfilling.

We are still feeling incredibly inspired and enlightened following the "Special Musicality Workshop for Tango Dancers" hosted by Totallyintango.com this past weekend, March 20–22, 2026 - Brugge/Belgium.
Exploring the masterpieces of Juan D’Arienzo and other renowned Argentine Tango orchestras provided such rich material for our growth. Thanks to Pepa’s masterful teaching, we have moved far beyond a traditional intellectual approach of music and dance. Learning how the body can truly grasp the "vibes" and layers of the music — melodies, rythms, signals, transitions, songs and so much more important elements — have deeply nourished our creativity and changed how we will approach improvisation forever.
Heartfelt thanks to Pepa for her exceptional guidance, and to Ludo, Julia, and all our classmates for making this such a wonderful and enriching shared experience.
We cannot recommend this workshop highly enough.
Pascale Rodts-Rougé and Eddy Rodts 🙏 💃 🕺
