The Challenge and Joy of Argentine Tango


Learning Argentine Tango has been such a 

rewarding journey harder than it looks but so 

much fun! The intricate steps and fluid 

movements make it a true art form, though 

I can’t seem to remember all the steps just yet. 

But I’ll get there practice, practice, practice is 

the key! LOL.


Thankfully, my incredible teacher, Koji 

Hanaoka, is patient and supportive, making 

every class a joy. Tango may look elegant and 

smooth on the outside, but it’s a real workout 

for the body and mind!


Before class, I tried a 30-minute EMS 

(Electro Muscle Stimulation) session. It’s 

intense! Those 30 minutes are equivalent to 

20,000 sit-ups, 20,000 squats, and 5 hours of 

jogging. Talk about efficiency! I also checked 

my in-body results and was thrilled to see I’m

gaining muscle while losing fat. Building 

muscle is so essential for burning fat, and I 

 to see the progress.


Sleep is another critical part of this journey 

don’t underestimate how much it helps with 

recovery and overall health. After all that hard 

work, I treated myself to a cozy hot pot (nabe)

 with Chinese cabbage, tomato sauce, cheese,

 and hot sauce. It was warm, filling, and the 

perfect way to end a cold, windy night.


I’ll upload my EMS and in-body data 

soon to share more about my progress.

 Until then, I’m off to keep practicing my 

Tango it’s all about those small, determined 

steps forward! 

Wishing you a fantastic day.


Love you,
