Argentine Dance Classes

In a time of economic hardship, the people of Argentina sought refuge from their daily struggles through the dance halls of the 1920s to the 1940s. Tango, with its infectious spirit, became a new movement that took over any open space available for dancing.

From small clubs to backyard patios, milongas were everywhere. The music was mostly played on vinyl records, but some could afford to hire small orchestras that reached a respectable level of skill and popularity over time. Tango was an intimate form of dance that satisfied the innate human need for connection, and it became deeply embedded in Argentinian society.

The Milonga, Vals, and Tango are each unique in their musicality and choreography, yet they share a common spirit. Tango is not just a dance, but an expression of life, freedom, joy, hope, loss, and love for Argentinians and people worldwide.

It reflects a historical time of great change in Argentina and has become an eclectic cultural mix of music and dance. But for those who dance, Tango is a remedy for the soul.

ARGENTINE TANGO

Argentine Tango is a passionate and intimate dance characterized by the close embrace of the partners and the intense communication between them. It is an improvisational dance that allows for personal expression, while still adhering to the traditional structure and music of the Tango. The dance has since spread worldwide and continues to captivate dancers of all backgrounds and ages with its emotional intensity and beauty.

TANGO VALS

Tango Vals is a dance that originated from the Argentine tango but is performed to waltz music. It is a graceful and elegant dance characterized by smooth and flowing movements, as opposed to the staccato steps of traditional tango. Tango Vals is often considered a more romantic dance than tango, with its sweeping turns and gliding motions. While it shares many similarities with the Tango, Tango Vals has its own unique style and technique that sets it apart as a distinct dance form.

MILONGA

Milonga is a rhythmic and upbeat dance style that is characterized by fast footwork, syncopated rhythms, and playful movements. Milonga music is typically faster than tango music, and the dance style itself has a more relaxed and playful feel. It is often danced in social settings, such as dance halls and clubs, and is a popular dance form among tango enthusiasts.
