The tango is a hot, sultry dance full of strutting proud men and softly flowing women. While it retains many elements of the additional dances, it has its own movements which set it in addition to the other dances. These are quick turns and jerky arms and leg movements the majority of people are familiar with. When dancing tango dance steps, it should be noted that a proud, strong and quietly dignified expression and bearing is a hallmark of the accomplished tango dancer. When Buenos Aires became the capital of Argentina, immigrants flocked to its newly found prosperity. Here the combination of African, Indian, Spanish and Eastern European cultures joined together to produce a wildly emotional dance. The term 'tango' is thought to come from an African drum beat 'tan-go.

The wonderful thing about tango is the fact that it is a ready made hobby and social life all rolled into one, with minimal expenses. Anybody who has been dancing for a while will tell you that's a most wonderful past time.

However anyone starting Tango school is bewildered by what they need, and also the lack of easily available information. Do you'll need a partner? Do you'll need special shoes? Do you'll need lessons - and if yes, private or classes? This article with answer all the questions a beginner might ask.

The most basic question beginners ask is of-course whether they need a dancing partner, which is often a very difficult if not impossible thing to get. the answer, fortunately, is a definite no. In fact a large proportion of dancers, perhaps 80-90%, start tango, and come to social tango dances (called 'milongas' - we're going to get into that a bit later) without partners. So feel completely comfortable on that area.

The only gear that is needed - by both women and men - is a great group of tango shoes, that are different that normal shoes in several ways. To find out a store that sells these do a search for 'dance shoes name-of-your-local-area' in Google, and call them first to ask whenever they have tango shoes.

When starting, men should actually use ballroom shoes rather than tango shoes, because they are lower and more comfortable. Women should use true tango shoes, but beginners must not have heels that will be too high.

And also the dance tells the story of sensually charged emotions between man and woman.While it has many similarities to other ballroom dances, the particular movements of the tango are different. There are actually several of the flowing movements, when both dancers follow each other's movement, but additionally, there are quick jerky head changes from side to side as in the event the dancers are slapping each other with stiff upper bodies. Upper body movements are structured and refined with pointing hands and stiff heads. Most of the time the upper body won't move while the legs perform a frenetic routine of their own. Then the upper body becomes fluid, both dancers entwine as the male and female elements engage in their own conversation.The modern tango danced today is a much sanitized version of the original. Much of the original, passionate emotion which first filled the dance was lost. You'll find no longer the lust-filled gazes and women draped provocatively through the men.

Many of its adherents enjoying the pulsing rhythm and variation in pace.Man and woman partners work around the dance floor in a generally counterclockwise way.First the man is dominant and demanding and after that the woman is persuading and cajoling.Feet are kicked out to the sides as the two people argue within their dance. Then make up, only to argue once more. This represents the greater argumentative segments of the dance as the 2 protagonists constantly clash and after that ingratiate themselves to each other. They work the floor in the same counter clockwise way as other traditional dances and forward and backward feet styles are identical.Modern clothes are very much like other sorts of ballroom with lots of sequins and cut away dresses.They may be one piece outfits with only slight glints of sequins at cuffs, or down the sides. The dresses are certainly fitted with cut-away sections as well as the skirts can be short and cut away.These are tight-fitting and in dark colors either reds or greens. The dresses are provocative as well as can be cut away with slashed skirts to show off the kicks and leg turns. Learning tango dance steps can be an extremely intense, emotional experience!
