Tango dance (TD) was created slowly after the multicultural meeting of hundreds of thousands immigrants from various European countries (mostly), which occurred in the Rio de la Plataarea (Uruguay and Argentina). Due to its social origins from ballroom dances, and others, TD became clearly a social dance.

The most popular representation of this dance is a couple of a man and a woman dancing with a tight embrace. TD is a powerful dance, earthy, and dramatic. It could be described as stylized walking. The walk has a "stalking" nature with dramatic gestures. Steps are based heavily on improvisation (except in performance level). Movements are sometimes slow and slithery, sometimes abrupt with quick foot flicks and head turns.

Historians and the people deeply involved with tango culture always referred to this dance as Tango Rioplatense.

At the heart of tango there are really two major aspects - each of which can be (almost infinitely) further explored:

  • MUSIC: The first aspect of tango is the music. Tango music (which started in 1880 by the way) is incredibly beautiful, with three specific forms: traditional tango; tango-nuevo; and neo-tango. The one thing they all have in common is a 4/4 beat.
  • DANCE: The other aspect of tango is the dance. The wonderful, thing about tango is that it is completely organic. In other words, whilst you learn complicated steps, embellishments, embraces etc - how they are used in any dance is dynamic and spontaneous to the second, so that no two social dances (as opposed to show tango) will ever be the same. And to master tango takes many years!
