Tango Was From Argentina
Tango is a
social dance form that shaped in
Buenos Aires,
Argentina from various roots. The
musical styles that evolved together with the dance
are also known as "tango".
Early tango was known as tango criollo or simply tango. Today, there are many tango dance styles including Argentine tango, ballroom tango (American and International styles), Finnish tango, Chinese tango, and vintage tangos.
The Argentine tango is regarded as the "authentic" tango since it is closest to that originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay.
Ballroom Tango
Ballroom
tango, divided in recent decades into the
"International" (English) and "European" styles, has
descended from the tango styles that developed when the
tango first went abroad to Europe and North America. The
dance was simplified, adapted to the preferences of
conventional ballroom dancers, and incorporated into the
repertoire used in International Ballroom dance
competitions. English Tango was first codified in
October 1922, when it was proposed that it should only
be danced to modern tunes, ideally at 30 bars per minute
(i.e. 120 beats per minute - assuming a 4/4 measure).
