Argentine tango is a social dance form, which started and flourished in the city of Buenos Aires and became a cultural phenomenon over the years. Most people, outside Buenos Aires, are introduced to tango through performances. While captivating, the tango performances do not reflect the true nature and the cultural aspects of the dance.
Our tango lessons are based on the style of tango which the locals dance at the heart of Buenos Aires dance halls. In this style, the pleasure is more in the embrace or connection between partners and less of complex steps. In place of complicated footwork, interpretation of the music and its rhythms is important. Truly reflecting the social nature of the dance, the figures do not take up much room on the dance floor and there is respect for other dancers every moment of the dance. This is the preferred style in the crowded salons of Buenos Aires. Read about Floorcraft
