Argentine Tango

Argentine tango was born in the streets of Buenos Aires and is now danced across the world. It is based upon exquisite musical compositions, with a wide variety of tempos, moods, and rhythms.

The elegance and sensuality of Argentine tango is less formal and structured than its American and International counterparts. Its defining characteristics are an emphasis on connection and creative potential.

In Argentine tango, what is important is not learning patterned steps, but how to lead and follow with a partner by truly feeling and understanding each other’s movement. The dance’s fundamentals are few and simple, which opens the door to an incredible amount of improvisation. Tango dancers often describe their love for the dance as a passion; one that keeps them dancing through the early hours of the morning and beyond.
