What is Argentine Tango?
Tango is part Tango is a sensual dramatic dance. Tango emerged as a dance style in the late 1800s in the suburbs of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, Uruguay. It is popular in Europe, Japan and the United States. The recent spike in tango's popularity throughout the world is in part attributed to the Broadway hit "Forever Tango" and TV's "Dancing With the Stars." "Tango is a feeling that can be danced, and that feeling of course is passion," according to some. The popular image – willowy, spike-heeled women spinning, kicking and lunging across the floor in the arms of tuxedo-clad men – is known as show tango. The kind danced in milongas, or tango dance halls, is more waltzlike, but equally sensual.
