Argentine Tango is an improvised social dance. Essentially it is walking in time to the music, in an embrace, with a partner.
It is not to be confused with Ballroom Tango, which is a derivation of the original.
The beauty of the Tango is that it is not about learning sequences of steps, it is learning to interact with a partner on a whole new level, communicating your intentions with your body language and confidence. Moving around the floor as one, inspired by the varying melodies, tempos and playful elements of the wonderful music of Tango.
I could write my own version of War & Peace about the dance, but others have already done that, so if you would like more information please visit the following site:
