How is Argentine Tango different from Ballroom Tango?
The original Argentine Tango is a “street dance,” in the same family as Swing/Lindy Hop or Salsa. It does not have a syllabus or a series of patterns to memorize and repeat. Partners improvise (invent their own steps) in order to express the music, rather than learning a routine. Once you learn tango movement and the skills of leading and following, you can dance with any tango dancer in the world, even if you have never met.
