The Tango was stylized by the Gauchos of Argentina where they danced it circling the bar tables after a hard day’s work. It became the rage in 1921 after Rudolph Valentino brought its romance and allure to the silent screen in “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. Its passion and excitement has most recently been captured in movies such as True Lies, Scent of a Woman and Shall We Dance? The Tango is known as one of the most powerful and dramatic dances, characterized by staccato movements, dips and gancho flicks. It’s commonly referred to as the “dancer’s dance” where the men get to be men and the women love it! Creating amazing leading and following skills, it’s truly a favorite for all that learn it.
