HISTORY

Tango dancing began in Argentina and Uruguay in the mid-1800s. The music of tango blended African, Cuban and European elements. Over time, tango music and tango dancing united people from different cultures and social classes in South America. As sailors from Argentina traveled to Europe and North America, they taught the dance to local residents, and its popularity spread. Today there are tango schools all over the world, and new styles of the dance are constantly evolving. One of the latest styles, nuevo tango, brings in electronic and alternative music and adds new life to this ever-popular dance form.
