    I. INTRODUCTION

    Tango originated in the 19th century outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since then it
    has grown into one of the most popular dances in the world.

    II. OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this module the learner should be able to:


    a. discuss the dance Tango; and
    b. identify the basic steps of Tango.

    III. LECTURE/DISCUSSION

    Tango
    Tango, also referred to as the "Dance of Love", is a passionate and dramatic dance. It's a
    dialogue between partners, an expressive form of communication through movements.

    It's somewhat different from other dances, especially traditional ballroom, but next in
    popularity behind waltz and foxtrot. Dissimilar to those two, it has no rise & fall, no swaying. It's
    known for quick, sharp movements and a catlike walking action.

    Today, there are many styles of tango. You can dance the tango argentino, the ballroom
    tango, the finnish tango, the uruguayan tango, tango nuevo, vintage tango, and the chinese tango,
    among other styles. Although many different interpretations have appeared, the two main styles
    are the ballroom style and the Argentine style. The main difference between the two is that the
    second one has more sharp, staccato movements and the characteristic head snaps which are
    totally foreign for the dances coming from Argentine.

    Tango is danced all around the world by people of all sizes and ages. Because the main
    requirement is walking, it is a dance for everyone. When it comes to Tango, the Zimbabwean
    proverb - If you can walk, you can dance – is absolutely on the spot.

    Basic steps

    Tango is a walking dance, meaning that all the steps are based on walking.

    When you start learning it, you must first master some basic movements. Don't worry, basic
    steps are not that difficult to learn. Beginners usually start with 8-Count Basic or simply Tango
    Basic.
    Tango Basic is made of five steps taken to 8 counts of music. The rhythm is slow, slow,
    quick, quick, slow. The slow steps consume two beats of music and the quick steps one. Tango
    music is usually written in 4/4 time (but also in 2/4 time) and played at a tempo of 30-33
    measures per minute.

    Instructions & Diagrams:

    Tango is danced in a closed position, usually closer than in other dances. The man's left
    hand is holding the lady's right hand. His right hand is placed on her back, along the bottom of
    her ribcage. The lady's left hand is placed on his right shoulder. You always bent your knees.
    Remember, this dance is the most bent of all the ballroom dances.

    The lead and follow mirror each others steps. The lead begins with the left foot, the follow with
    the right. Walks usually curve gradually to the left.
