Tango Dance Course

The most passionate and dramatic of the ballroom dances is the Tango. It originated in Argentina and became popular in the U.S. The Tango doesn’t need words. You communicate with your eyes and body with dramatic music and movements.

The Tango is a progressive dance moving along the line of dance using body movement. A staccato movement of the feet and flexed knees highlight the dramatic style of the Tango. The Tango originated in the bordellos of Buenos Aires, Argentina and is done in a slightly different manner to the other dances. The hold is very different, with the lady's arm under the man's, which creates a tighter hold for a quick staccato action and stylized poses.
