Welcome to a lifetime adventure of challenges, frustration & ecstasy and limitless possibilities. You can literally travel the world with this dance and immediately share intimate experiences with the interesting people through the lovely embrace and not even share a word of the same language.

There is a remarkable difference between the real Argentine tango dance (Argentine-Uruguayan in reality) which is improvisation and the other tango that is danced in the USA and that is only a choreography like that of several of the examples in the video. If you have some experience in the dance you can notice the programmed of the movements in the latter, unlike the freedom that is felt in Argentine tango. In the tango that is completely choreographed, they can not do any step different from the programmed one. Existe una notable diferencia entre el verdadero baile del tango argentino (argentino-uruguayo en realidad) el cual es improvisación y el otro tango que se baila en USA y que solo es una coreografía como el de varios de los ejemplos del video. Si tienes algo de experiencia en el baile puedes notar lo programado de los movimientos en este último, a diferencia de la libertad que se siente en tango argentino. En el tango que es completamente coreografeado, no pueden hacer ningún paso diferente del programado.
Argentine Tango of today is 90% Tango Show or Tango Stage or Tango Choreographed, so the modern Argentine Tango is not anymore representative of the real improvised Argentine Tango
The opening sequence was from Dancing with the Stars. NOBODY on Dancing with the Stars dances Argentine tango. The judges (who know very little about Argentine Tango) think Argentine Tango is all ganchos and lifts.
TANGO is not only Argentinian, is Uruguayan too. It is originated in the 1880s along the River Plate, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay.
Not many people do. We also dance THE MILONGA. Also shared with Argentina, it's danced and revered a lot more in Uruguay. If you wish, I will send you a BEAUTIFUL milonga danced by Zotto and Giustieri.
Uruguayan Style. No se sabe con exactitud donde nació, pero es un género músical y de danza desarrollado por artistas de las dos orillas, aunque habla más de Buenos Aires que de otra cosa, es posible que haya nacido en Buenos Aires pero es un género rioplatense influido por muchos géneros de las distintas etnias de América, Africa y Europa..
I learned so much; thanks! You showed a clip of a film of an older woman filmmaker who learns from a younger, famous tango dancer who becomes her partner. What's the name of the film?
OK, I'll try: tango was the first dance to fully exploit the close embrace of the dancers and their independence from other couples and from each other: dances before the tango were either separate dancers, (like the contradance) or in groups or rows (like the minuet), and when the waltz introduced the embrace, dancers mostly walked and turned, and their movements mirrored each other. Dancers twirled and talked. In tango the embrace, (close embrace, not like the waltz), allows the dancers to move their feet and legs independently of each other. It's a serious dance, no talking. This was new, and of course, scandalous! Until the French said "c'est chic!" and the rest is history.
Wow... :-) Thank you, so much for this. I've been learning Cuban Salsa for 3 years and recently appreciated the Art of Argentine Tango. Now, fortunate enough to have a local dance class. So, its nice to get some insight and understanding of its origins :-)
Learning tango is much more than learning steps. Knowing how to MOVE is the key. The leader gets the woman to step FIRST so her leg is out of the way. He steps a split second AFTER the woman moves. If the man moves his foot first, he will kick the woman or step on her foot.
As Tangomaniac eloquently summarised the sequence, the lady steps first. If there are feet stepped on etc, there is an obvious lack of synchronisation. The man invites/suggests the lady to move and she moves followed by the man moving, following her. Just as this excellent film points out. All preferably in a 1/100 of a second. The old question will remain: who is actually leading and who is actually following? Having started argentinian tango only four months ago and now spending many hours/week, it's very obviously an addictive phenomenon - you have been warned. Highly recommend anyone to start tangoing.
Hi I'm usman from Pakistan. Can some one tell me about tango tribe? Is this a proper tribe or just a dance name . Because our elders forefather told us that our tribe/ cast was tango
I always found curious how foreign people only see the "sensual" or "romantic" part of this dance, if you ask a random Argentino what he think about Tango they will probably tell you that is sad or nostalgic

Los Estados Unidos no tienen ninguna, absolutamente ninguna, relación con el tango. Excepto el show circense que Hollywood y Rodolfo Valentino hicieran del tango. El tango es una expresión del Rio de la Plata, de la Argentina y de Uruguay, es una música exquisita, una danza pasional y una poesía sentida. Desde Buenos Aires, se exportó al mundo, donde se lo quiso y respetó. En los Estados Unidos hicieron una adaptación caricaturesca del tango, que no refleja en absoluto la pasión que expresa. De cualquier modo reconozco y felicito al director del documental. / The United States has absolutely no relationship with tango. Except for the circus show that Hollywood and Rodolfo Valentino did from the tango. Tango is an expression of Rio de la Plata, Argentina and Uruguay, it is exquisite music, a passionate dance and heartfelt poetry. From Buenos Aires, it was exported to the world, where it was loved and respected. In the United States they made a caricature adaptation of the tango, which does not at all reflect the passion it expresses. In any case, I acknowledge and congratulate the director of the documentary.
No entiendo bien el ingles aunque creo que hace una descripción bastante buena sobre la historia del tango, aunque la mayoría de las imágenes de este corto son de milongas y valses, si bien están estrechamente relacionados, no son lo mismo y cualquiera que no conozca demasiado estaría viendo algo que no es específicamente tango. solo es un comentario de lo que veo y puedo equivocarme, creo que no. espero no ofender.
Why do you think Vals and Milonga are not belonging to the Argentine Tango?? For Milonga you need much more rhythmic feeling and phantasie than for tango. and there are few people who understand Vals. Here on youtube you even can watch teachers who "try" ---who try -- to dance vals.
Well, the entire dance is improvised. The man leads EVERY step. However, the woman has some freedom in her interpretation of how to do the step. The best example is boleos. Woman add their personality, playing with the music. The woman can do whatever she wants as long as he DOESN'T interrupt the lead.
@@tangomaniac1 if you have a good follower the way she moves will also suggest how to proceed. Of course you can still lead something else and she will follow no problem, but it feels more like figuring out the dance together than just the leader giving the instructions. Like- okay, I wanted to dance this rhythm and do that, but with the quality of her movement and the way she did her decorations I want to actually maybe give her a little more time to whatever and follow her in it or maybe go into another step and follow the violin instead of the piano and bass as I intended to, because she moved a little more fluid and it seems more appropiate now. I think it should be more like a dialogue where you always stay open and listen to adjust your dance to what your partner is doing.
Buenos Aires era una ciudad pobre cuando nació el tango? Es un error muy grande. Que hubiera suburbios pobres donde se afincaban los inmigrantes pobres que llegaban de Europa es otra cosa
Translation: Was Buenos Aires a poor city when tango was born? That's a huge mistake. That there were poor suburbs where poor immigrants from Europe settled is another thing
If immigrants brought their music and dances with them that means that tango was originated from Europe. We all know that Argentina is half populated by Italians, so figure this out? Tango is tango and nothing else, in New York, Paris or Rome. Call it Argentinian or Argentine to separate it to New Tango (Tango Nuevo) or Ballroom Tango, okay but please give to Cesar what belongs to Cesar! Tango was invented by Italians and without them Tango music wouldn't have violin, accordeon and guitar. A bit like Paso Doble, invented by French because in South of France they have a similar culture and traditions than Spain. Nice video by the way because all the rest you are talking about is very interesting, I am a dancer myself! ❤🌹
El tango es fruto de una confluencia de culturas que se dió en el Río de la Plata principalmente en Buenos Aires. No solo la italiana, también española, africana, francesa .Arrogarse la paternidad del tango por parte de los italianos es de una petulancia por lo menos imprudente. Que quede claro :El tango NO se originó en Europa, lo único que faltaba ahora es escuchar semejante afirmación
Translation: Tango is the result of a confluence of cultures that took place in the Río de la Plata, mainly in Buenos Aires. Not only Italian, but also Spanish, African, and French. To claim paternity of tango by the Italians is at least reckless and presumptuous. Let it be clear: Tango did NOT originate in Europe, the only thing missing now is to hear such a statement
Tango was invented by African slaves who mixed their own culture with European instruments. If Tango was invented by Italians it would have been invented in Italy or somewhere in Europe. Secondly it was briefly banned in Argentina because it was associated with poor Africans. Even the word Tango and Milonga are African words... When Africans stopped being the main influence the dance became less popular and stopped developing. That's why Tango hasn't evolved with new techniques that can be used to dance to modern Argentine music.

I absolutely love this form of dance, one day I'll take lessons hopefully!
Very nice and timeless narrative history of Argentine tango. Thanks for sharing!
I love this little movie.
Tango originated in the port cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo...
No es así. Nació en Buenos Aires y dada la proximidad de ambas ciudades y el flujo de personas entre ellas rápidamente llegó a Montevideo.
Thank You sweet Carol from an old italian milonguero.
Tango nacido de los arrabales de Buenos Aires, Argentina, para el mundo...!

A difference between salon tango and performance tango.
I think that they mean Argentine. S American tango, rather than salon vs escenario. They are very different dances.

Right first places were tango were playerd were Buenos Aires, Rosario and Montevideo.

MUY HERMOSA NARRACION ,DE LA EPOCA .BAILE DIVERTIDO.
I would like to ask you all a question, what is the importance of tango as a whole
OK, I'll try: tango was the first dance to fully exploit the close embrace of the dancers and their independence from other couples and from each other: dances before the tango were either separate dancers, (like the contradance) or in groups or rows (like the minuet), and when the waltz introduced the embrace, dancers mostly walked and turned, and their movements mirrored each other. Dancers twirled and talked. In tango the embrace, (close embrace, not like the waltz), allows the dancers to move their feet and legs independently of each other. It's a serious dance, no talking.

Thank you very much for this information about tango.
Very interesting! I would imagine that during the many hours of practice that it would take to perfect this dance, there are a lot of bruised shins.
Learning tango is much more than learning steps. Knowing how to MOVE is the key. The leader gets the woman to step FIRST so her leg is out of the way. He steps a split second AFTER the woman moves. If the man moves his foot first, he will kick the woman or step on her foot.

The man invites/suggests the lady to move and she moves followed by the man moving, following her. Just as this excellent film points out. All preferably in a 1/100 of a second.
The old question will remain: who is actually leading and who is actually following?
Having started argentinian tango only four months ago and now spending many hours/week, it's very obviously an addictive phenomenon - you have been warned. Highly recommend anyone to start tangoing.
Extraordinary no mention of Astor Piazzolla
Hi I'm usman from Pakistan. Can some one tell me about tango tribe? Is this a proper tribe or just a dance name . Because our elders forefather told us that our tribe/ cast was tango
Ja, ja, ja, ja, se le dice tribu al conjunto de personas que practica tango.
Cualquiera puede practicar y tocar tango sin distinción de color...
Translation: Ha, ha, ha, ha, the group of people who practice tango is called a tribe.
Anyone can practice and play tango regardless of color..
We don't have tribes here in Argentina haha, It's the dance/ music name created in Buenos Aires
Tango is very sensuous ,,, it's like sex on the dance floor,, enough to blush when you dance , and sweat ,
ah yaya ,,
I always found curious how foreign people only see the "sensual" or "romantic" part of this dance, if you ask a random Argentino what he think about Tango they will probably tell you that is sad or nostalgic

It's important that a lady know how to improvise. You just can't "lead" her.
