Tango

The Tango is a passionate and dramatic ballroom dance that originated in the working-class neighborhoods and social dance halls of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the late 19th century. It has since evolved into several styles, including the Argentine Tango and the International Tango. It has roots in various cultural influences, including African, European, and indigenous Argentine elements. Tango music typically has a 4/4 time signature and is characterized by a strong, driving beat. The music often conveys a sense of drama and passion, and it can be both rhythmic and melodic.

This dance is known for its close embrace and quick, staccato movements. The basic steps involve a series of walks, side steps, and sharp turns. Dancers maintain a strong connection with each other, and the dance often includes intricate footwork and leg flicks. It is characterized by its intensity, passion, and connection between the dance partners. The dance allows for moments of stillness and sudden bursts of movement, creating a dramatic and expressive atmosphere.
