Originally a light spirited dance form Spain, the Tango became very popular in the slums and bordellos of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Spanish Tango, together with the African “Tangano” and the “Habanera” (from Havana, Cuba), were merged in the late 1800’s and became known as the “Milonga”. In the early 1900’s, the “Tango” was demonstrated in Paris, then London and New York. Rudolph Valentino further popularized this dance in 1921 with the making of the movie “The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse”. Although evolving in a different direction in Europe and America, the Tango has remained a firm favorite!

The Tango is a passionate and dramatic dance that s characterized by sharp, staccato movements and intense connection between partners. It is a popular choice for social dancing and competitions, showcasing the fiery and expressive nature of the dance.
