In this episode, Sharna shares her own history and experience with tango as a social dance form. It’s a reverse interview with Actor and Director Dan Istrate, who has been a guest on the show twice before. They talk together about Sharna's discovery and rediscovery of tango, and about what makes tango so compelling for so many people.

  • “There’s a weight within this dance, within this concept, that speaks for itself.”
  • "Tango comes like a revelation in one’s life and you just know it."
  • "There was some kind of way that this particular form was changing me on all levels and that’s what made it feel so necessary and inevitable."
  • "You bring yourself to it and it's scary in a way but then it's so beautiful when you really connect."
