  What Exactly IS Tango?

 Real Argentine Tango is . . .

  • A comfortable embrace:  The partners frequently transition between open  and closed embrace following the music throughout the dance.

  • Improvisation: The dance is largely improvised, with the partners responding to the music and each other's movements in the moment.

  • Rhythmic complexity: The music and dance have a complex, syncopated rhythm that emphasizes skilled footwork and body control.

  • Emotional expression: The dance is often described as a dialogue or exchange of emotions between the partners, with a focus on conveying passion, tension, and connection.

  • Argentine Tango has had a significant cultural and artistic impact, with its influence extending beyond the dance world and into music, literature, and film. It remains a beloved and widely practiced social dance, with a strong global community of enthusiasts.
