Sometime in 2019, as a disgruntled recent philosophy graduate with vague interest in dancing, Aran went to a bar called Nosh & Bevy. Out of pure chance, he sat beside Pat Dickerson, who told him she was coming from a night of dancing tango. “What’s great about tango?” he asked. Pat replied: it is all improv and you do not need to move on every beat. Aran took his first lesson the day after and he hasn’t stopped dancing since.
