What is Tango Argentino or Argentine Tango?
Traditional tango is a far cry from the tango seen in mainstream movies. There are no roses in teeth, sharp head movements or charging about in different directions. Tango Argentino is far more subtle and quite a different dance from International or Ballroom Tango. Tango is danced traditionally in both Argentina and Uruguay. Although the traditional form is referred to commonly as “Argentine Tango” (Tango Argentino in Spanish), it is perhaps more correctly called “Tango del Rio Platense”, Tango of the (South American) River Plate.
