Argentine Tango!

The Argentine Tango is a very popular dance this year as many students feel inspired by shows from the likes of Vincent and Flavia who have brought Tango back to life again. There are many styles of Argentine Tango, and it has been slowly adapted to suit the Ballroom floors that we tend to dance on in England rather than basement clubs which makes it easier than ever to get started with this fabulous dance. There is such passion and great storytelling with the dance of the Argentine Tango and it definitely breaks all the conventional rules of Ballroom dancing such as direction, a set rhythm and a very different poise so it is a refreshing and challenging addition to the other popular dances.

What steps are there to learn?
