Tango

Ballroom tango developed from the original form of the dance, which started in the slums of Argentina. For years it was seen as scandalous to dance but gradually the tango was ‘cleaned up’ and became socially acceptable in Europe in the 1900s. It has a very different hold from the other ballroom dances and projects an element of feline stealth in the walks.
