About Argentine Tango From The Heart

The Argentine tango is the expression of yearning, passion and romance.   It comes from the heart. Born in the barrios of Buenos Aires tango has spread around the world.  The Argentine tango evolved in about 1880 in the lower-class districts of Buenos Aires, when European immigrants moved to Argentina.  The feeling of homesickness, loss and yearning melded into the music.   Argentine tango is a living dance not formalized like most other ballroom dances.  It is festive and improvisational, within a definite framework of simple rules of movement, body postures and emphasis on interpreting the distinct rhythm and melody of authentic tango music.

This is a dance whose step patterns are secondary to the job of maintaining a heart connection with your partner. The motto of Argentine tango is, “Heart first, steps second! “  There is one simple rule, “Don’t do anything with your feet or body that disturbs the precious physical, emotional, sensual and spiritual connection with your partner.”  In Argentine tango connection is king!

It is not a watered-down Americanized version of tango, which is done to impress an audience. It is the real thing, the style of Argentine tango where the aim of the dancers is to create an experience, in which the couple feels wonderful, excited and fulfilled by the dance. Continue >
