Tango performers maintain excellent posture and poise, and exhibit incredible confidence. Holding each other close and responding to each other’s bodies with finesse, confidence in the tango always shines through.
When everyday people think of the tango they often imagine a beautiful woman with a rose in her mouth, dancing romantically with an attractive partner. Indeed, the tango is a passionate and dramatic dance but it’s also more complex than people realize. It’s a technical but very entertaining dance that has cultural Latin American origins.
