Learn more about tango

Tango is a passionate and dramatic partner dance that originated in Argentina and Uruguay in the late 19th century. It is characterized by sharp, precise movements, close embraces, and a strong emotional connection between the dancers. The dance typically follows a syncopated rhythm, which creates a feeling of tension and release. Tango can be performed in various styles, including Argentine Tango, which focuses on improvisation and intimate connection, and Ballroom Tango, which is more formal and structured with a focus on choreography. The dance involves intricate footwork, rapid turns, and the ability for dancers to communicate silently through body movements. Tango music, often played with a combination of instruments like the bandoneon, violin, and piano, plays a crucial role in setting the mood and tempo. While Tango is a competitive ballroom dance, it is also enjoyed socially in milongas (dance gatherings), where dancers express themselves creatively and connect emotionally through movement.
