ABOUT ARGENTINE TANGO
The exact origins of the tango are uncertain. In the early 1900s, the dance and music developed together in the social cauldrons of port cities Montevideo and Buenos Aires, where fortune-seeking immigrants from all over Europe rubbed shoulders with native South Americans and African slaves. Most of the immigrants were men—competition for women was fierce—and it was in this lonely and desperate environment that they developed the intimate, elegant and seductive tango, practicing it and refining it so that when they went to a milonga—a social dance—some woman—any woman—would be enticed to dance with them.
This is a dance—or style of dance—like no other. More tender than ballroom, more subtle than salsa, it is absolutely beautiful, and habit-forming. We are currently without a dance venue but post about local tango events, instruction, and other random info.
