Known as an intimate dance for partners, the Tango is a sensual combination of elaborate footwork, tight embraces, and playful embellishments. You can track back to the nineteenth century to find the origins of the Tango, but many fathers had a hand in creating the three popular styles we find today (Argentine, Arabic, Brazilian, Moorish, and Spanish influences). Milonga, is danced on every beat of fast-paced music. The Valtz, is reminiscent of the Waltz, with flowing steps on the first beat of the measure. The slower, controlled, and more sensuous Tango permits the intricate footwork and embellishments. Best known for fantastic dips, lunges, and cheek-to-cheek contact, the Tango is easily spotted among other dance styles.
