Argentine Tango is a social dance originating during the the early 1900's in the barrios of Buenos Aries (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay). The Argentine Tango has since developed active dance communities worldwide. (e.g., United States, South America, Europe, Japan, and Australia)
Argentine Tango is a partnered and improvised dance based on variations of walking, turning, and pausing. While there is a basic structure and some 'rules' to follow, Argentine Tango dancers are encouraged to interpret the music and create their dance.
The Argentine Tango is very different from both the American Tango and International Tango.
