The Tango had its beginning back in the late 19^th century.  It contains elements of Cuban and Uruguayan music as well as African

elements. The birthplace is Argentina and hit its golden age in the 1940s.  It came to the US in 1910 when it was performed in a Broadway musical.  Throughout the last several decades , the dance has grown into a national craze.

Part of the mystery and fascination with Tango dancing is that it teaches the dancers to stay connected and in the moment even more than other dances.  This is because when dancing the Tango, the couple is always improvising and creating in the moment.  The dancers can change the course of the dance through subtle changes in positioning and  pressure.  This means there has to be constant communication between the dancers.  This helps grow a strong, special relationship between the partners. 

Dancing the Tango is a different experience and is said to be more complex than the other ballroom dances.  It is a matter of mind-body connection and an intimate relationship between partners.  If you are up for the challenge, then start learning to Tango today and be rewarded with a unique, very satisfying experience.
