With it's vibrant and colorful history, beautiful music, subtle and elegant movement you have to say WOW! That is YOU who people are saying wow about. You don’t have to be an athlete, a professional dancer or have a partner to learn this dance. All you need to do is to show up at class! (Practicing is highly recommended too)
Tango is unusual from any other regional dance, in that it was created from many global influences. With it's roots in Africa (for instance, the word tango is African) via the ex-slaves who mixed with the disenfranchised nomadic Gauchos (Argentine mestizos, who had their own music and dance) after the fencing of the pampas. The many musical & dance traditions of the European immigrants who came to work the shipping ports, which brought even more influences from all over the world.
