Agrentine Tango
Ruchi & Matt
always happy when dancing Tango!
Originating in the barrios of Buenos Aires, Argentine Tango is an improvised, spontaneous dance, based on variations of walking, turning, pausing and adornments. Even though there is a basic structure to the dance, one can never truly predict how their partner will interpret the music or embellish it.
Traditional Tango
The Tango embrace or frame may be open or close and allows for variations in embellishments which is especially true for the follower. Tango is usually improvised, with the only limitation being the experience and repertoire of the leader and follower.
Tango Nuevo
This style grew out of classic Argentine Tango and is about fluid, creative, and organic movement while exploring all of the possibilities and moves that tango can offer. A great emphasis is placed on each dancer maintaining his or her own axis. It is danced in an open and loose embrace.
Milonga
Milonga style Tango is fast-paced, syncopated, playful and incorporates many of the normal tango steps while maintaining a closer embrace. Milonga is so quick that it doesn’t allow for complicated movements and sequences. Keep your steps simple and your movements sharp, and you have a milonga dance!
