The development of Argentine Tango began approx. 100 years ago in Buenos Aires, then the biggest emigrant port in the world. Nothing provided the immigrants better intimacy and security, which they desperately longed for, than dance. The rhythms and melodies of these people combined to form tremendously rich and varied music. And today it is more modern and alive than ever.

Argentine Tango brings a direct experience of rhythm, music, and mood. The fact that one can always improvise freely makes this form of dance truly unique and exciting. Although the man selects the steps he intends to lead, the true dance experience only results together with the woman.

There is no question that Argentine Tango is one of the most sophisticated and passionate partnered dances in the world, thanks to its music complexity and the uniqueness of its embrace, coupled with the myriad of complex and intricate dynamics possible within the dance
