Argentine Tango is a close-embrace, improvised dance focusing on connection, walking, and musicality rather than rigid patterns.
Beginners should start by learning the "cradle" embrace,
“Salida” basic 8-step pattern
“Ocho” types of swivels
The dance relies on a clear, intimate lead-follow connection where the leader directs, and the follower navigates the space

Yesterday in our Facebook group we talked all things Tango
Here is what we discussed on the Argentine Tango.
Argentine Tango is a dance, a music, and sometimes described as whole mood.
It is believed to originate in the late 1800s around the Río de la Plata, mainly in the Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay) in working-class neighborhoods full of immigrants, port workers, and exiles.
It was a melting pot of different cultures and as they collided tango grew out of that mix.

A quick reminder of the Cha cha cha steps
Just the basic and New York
No look at how these steps can be danced in Rumba
