About Tango
Tango is a passionate partner dance that originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the late 19th century. It's characterized by dramatic staccato movements, sharp head snaps, and intense partner connection. There are two main styles: Argentine Tango (improvisational, intimate) and American/International Tango (theatrical, structured). Tango is danced in 4/4 or 2/4 time.
