Jo Yuran

Tango studio owner Yuran has a gift for letting even newcomers move at their own pace. Bolder than anyone onstage, she is surprisingly awkward at asking someone to stay once the dance ends. Preparing an outdoor milonga in the neighborhood square, you choose the musical order together. Whether dancing or sitting and listening, Yuran never misses the enjoyment on your face. A slow song in the empty hall after practice and laughter outside a late-night food shop linger more than the stage. Her long-unworn red shoes carry a decision to end the days when she was lonely even as part of a pair.
