Episode 167: Making a splash - Yolanda Rossi

The answers to many of our tango questions are simple to understand...yet challenging to follow through on. Let's keep that in mind as we get into today's episode. My guest is originally from Buenos Aires, but is now based in Los Angeles, CA. She is a former ballet and flamenco dancer, but lucky for us she stuck with tango because she ended up pioneering much of LA's tango scene. In 1993 she produced and designed the live Las Vegas show, "Viva Tango," which involved 37 artists, musicians, dancers, and singers. She has also been involved with a number of other prominent tango shows, and has worked with dozens of internationally acclaimed figures in the world of tango. As a promoter, she really helped spark tango's growth in southern California by bringing in a number of famous guest instructors, such as Carlos Gavito, Marcela Duran, Osvaldo Zotto, Natalia Hills, and many, many others!  On top of that, today's guest has been an instructor in Glendale, CA since 2002. She also established a major line of tango apparel, as well as her own line of tango shoes. Let's meet Yolanda Rossi...

There’s a moment in learning Argentine tango when the steps start to fade into feeling, and the real journey begins. Joe's Tango podcast lives in that space, created by Joe Yang for anyone who has felt that initial spark and wants to understand what lies beneath the dance. Rather than offering instruction, this series pulls up a chair for conversations with the people who shape the tango world-internationally renowned instructors, thoughtful event organizers, and the musicians whose work gives the dance its soul. Each discussion aims to uncover the deeper insights and unspoken philosophies that turn a series of movements into a lifelong passion. You’ll hear stories about connection, culture, and the personal challenges that even experts face, all with a warmth that makes every episode feel like a chat among friends. This isn’t about quick tips; it’s about feeding the curiosity that keeps you returning to the dance floor. Tango, as Joe’s guests often reveal, is as much about listening and personal growth as it is about technique. Tune into this podcast for a regular dose of perspective and motivation, a companion for your own path in a dance that never truly ends.
