Learn about Tango in 60 seconds

Everyone knows the Tango. It looks so cool, so hot, so smokingly sensual. The music is evocative, provocative and addictive – the tempo of desire, the dance of love. Everyone would love to Dance.

The Tango is precise, formal, and classical, but it will stir your emotions and make you feel amazing. It’s simple yet complicated. But don’t worry – we’ll have you biting into roses in no time. This Dance is unique. It’s dancing in its purest form – you’re either doing the Tango or you’re not. That’s why many of our students also learn the Rumba – to give themselves a bit of flexibility on the dance floor.

Songs you had no idea you could tango to

Everyone knows tango! But do you know any song you can dance tango to? I bet you do! It is so popular that its rhythm is base of many popular songs. Check out the four songs we chose, but if you become addicted to tango, here are more songs that may surprise you:

Mi Confesion by Gotan Project, Toxic by Britney Spears, Sway by The Pussycat Dolls, Hey Sexy Lady by Shaggy.

Why should I learn tango?

This is simply a lot of fun! There is just something about the music that is addictive and makes you want to move. The sharpness of the ballroom is also a very good tool for sharpening the lead and following in other dances. This is often used as a tool when teaching other dances.

What is a Milonga?

Argentine, a unique style of Tango, can be used at Milongas. A Milonga is a traditional Argentine social event at which people dance Argentine. There are Milongas in Adelaide run by the two specialist Argentine schools.

What are the different types?

There are two main types: Argentine and Ballroom. The ballroom is sharper and travels in a big circle around the dance floor. Argentine Tango is softer and moves around on the spot, more suited to the cramped dance floors of Argentina. At QuickSteps, we start teaching Ballroom, and once the students are more advanced, there is the option to also learn Argentine.
