Argentinian tango
Tango can be exciting, romantic and passionate. It has been called the "Dance of the dances", "Dance of fire" etc. and most people who give the Tango a chance will have a special realtionship to it. It is however an easy dance to start with and fits all the ages.
Tango has an interesting history and during the years many new styles of tango have emerged:
European tango
or
Modern tango
is a standardised ballroom dance. You recognise it by the quick throwing of the heads, the accentuated rhythm and the dancers' posture which resembles the other ballroom dances like Walz and Foxtrote.
This
is what Modern tango looks like on video.
Finnish tango
is a simplified social version of Modern tango and resembles Social Foxtrot but has its own unique characteristics. The music in finnish tango is often played in key minor.
Argentinian
or
Rio de la Plata tango
is the direct development of the original tango called "Canyengue". The posture is often intimate which makes it easier to lead and follow the complex patterns. The dance is improvised by the leader in dialogue with the follower and with respect to the music. There are no "basic steps" in tango but an infinite number of step combinations!

Is it difficult to dance Argentinian tango?
It is easy to start dancing Tango and you will discover some of its charm already after the first lesson. As you go on exploring the dance you will learn to appreciate new aspects of it. However you will never be fully learned in Tango!
Argentinian tango is actually a simple and relaxed dance (you hug and walk) but it can also be a thrilling challenge which drives tango dancers wanting to learn more year after year. It is the journey, not the goal, which is the purpose of tango.
