"El Tango es un pensamiento triste que hasta se puede bailar"
The Tango is a sad thought that you can dance.
The dance of love.
In the tango, the partners are hardly ever apart. Their steps portray passion and fire. It's a dance that says I love you but I can't stand you. LOL. It is an actor's dance. Perfect for the drama queen. But is also well know by the goth and emos.
It is known to be passionate and very sensual.
Tango was all the rage in the 1930's in Buenos Aries and Paris. Both music and dance were born in the streets and brothels of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina just before the beginning of the 1880s century. The word' Tango" refers to both a musical style and the dance performed to it. Tango dancing lost some of its prestige in Argentina after the Great Depression in 1929, but re surged in popularity after Juan Peron came to power. It became a matter of national pride to be able to tango. After numerous dictator governments in Argentina again repressed the dance, it came back to life in the 1980s after the premiere of the Broadway musical Forever Tango.
In modern Argentina, tango is associated mostly with a style of music; the rest of the world sees tango as a dramatic, and sexy dance.
Tango is not only a dance but also an obsession. For the tanguero, it is as much a part of life as eating and sleeping. Erotic and passionate, haunting and melancholic, it involves not only the body but also the soul.
Tango has captured the popular imagination for over one hundred years to become at the end of the twentieth century, no less than an international cult.
Learning to T.A.N.G.O. is more than something for you to show-off at the club. It is art.The human feelings have never been so accurately depicted then during the Tango.
“El Tango es la directa expresión de lo que comúnmente los poetas han tratado de definir en palabras como: la creencia de que la lucha puede ser un festejo”
"The tango is a direct expression of something that poets have often tried to state in words: the belief that a fight may be a celebration. "
-Jorge Luis Borges-
