This dance developed over the last century from Buenos Aires, Argentina . You will learn interpretive, improvisational social dance moves that will help you to develop a deep connection between yourself, the music, and the environment in which you are dancing.
Argentine tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between. Tango dance is essentially walking with a partner and the music. Dancing appropriately to the emotion and speed of a tango is extremely important to dancing tango.
