Jesus Sergio Acosta
Jesus co-founded Dance in Conversation in 2020. It was a moment when all dances came to a standstill and a space for verbal expression and sharing became a necessity in the tango community. For him, it was about co-creating and sharing his own musings coming from dancing and intentional movement.
In the last six years, Jesus has embraced dancing as a life resource. He believes that moving and learning dances like tango can lead us to walk with purpose and experience the full creative expression of ourselves.
For more than a decade, he worked for the BBC and media outlets, nurturing a skill to find stories and reach people.
It was the years he spent in a monastery in Mexico, where he learned to sense and invoke that energy that connects us all at deep levels.
Embodying intentions and movement more consciously is his current endeavor. In 2023, he immersed himself fully in an intense training course on somatic therapy and embodied intimacy.
On a good day, he celebrates life like a baby wolf howling to the moon. When things get rough, he needs his twin, his beloved, and the nourishment of his community to get him back on track.
Ieva Kelpsaite
I am a qualified advanced relationship coach, a tango dancer and co-creator of Dance in Conversation, a space to explore tango as a tool for understanding relationships, communication and interactions between people and within the tango community.
I believe that tango can show our great capacity for presence, holding space, allowing, letting go and other fundamental principles of relationships. I have been working with these principles and using them in my coaching practice, leading many relationship workshops for the tango community and in workplaces and as part of building my own professional practice. I have honoured these principles through my own personal relationships too. My mission has been to expand them in our everyday life and within the tango community so that people can experience a greater connection with each other.
Having a degree in psychology and a Master in Cross-cultural psychology provided me with a strong foundation for my current practice.
Together, we are crafting this space, making decisions based on feedback from the community around us.
