About Argentine Tango

Argentine Tango is an improvisational social partner dance born in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina in the late 19th century from the fusion of European immigrant traditions — particularly Milonga, Habanera, and Polka — with Afro-Argentine cultural expression. Danced in a close, nurturing embrace with extraordinary sensitivity to each other and to the music, Argentine Tango is considered one of the most intimate and musically sophisticated social dances in the world. Unlike staged Tango, social Argentine Tango is entirely improvised — a continuous nonverbal dialogue between two people guided by the music in real time. The Milonga social dance event has its own rich culture, etiquette, and music structure. Argentine Tango is practiced worldwide and has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. No partner is required to begin classes as most group classes rotate partners. Find Argentine Tango studios near you and begin one of the most rewarding dance journeys available.
