Argentine Tango is a unique partner dance due to its improvisational nature and the fact that it integrates with normal foot placements the use of a "cross system" where the leader and follower both step on the same foot instead of opposite feet.

 

The passionate sound of the music, the shape of the embrace, the emphasis on working over one's axis, and the accepted principles for making weight changes are part of what sets this dance apart from ballroom tango and from other social dances.

 

Born out of the late 1800's immigration of Europeans and Africans to Argentina, Argentine Tango evolved from a cafe and cabaret dance into the captivating, sensual dance as we know it today. It is danced to a wide range of orchestral music and even contemporary favorites.
