Tango Musicians & Singers
Mariana Avena, singer from Buenos Aires.
Mariana's talent and interpretation power, along with the Tango Total ballet, and the music of Leonardo Marconi Quintet will lead audiences to feel like being in in the heart of Buenos Aires. Great tango repertoire classics, from Gardel to Piazzola, in a multimedia show that expresses the Tango phenomenon in the 21st century. A spectacle of lights, images, dance and sensuality, with high impact and emotion.

All about Tango

by Philip Seyer
There are many kinds of tango. The three most popular in America are 1) American Tango, 2) International style tango, and 3) Argentine tango. In my view, International tango is better described as "English tango" since that's where it originated and it is not truly international in popularity. For example, International tango is certainly not so popular in Argentina. American tango is well-suited to social dancing, where you dance with a partner you've never danced with before. It is a lead and follow style. International tango is more choreographed -- so much so that those dancing international style often stop in the middle of a routine if they make a small mistake and are often not able to recover well. American style dancers just improvie and keep going. American and International styles are quite sharp in style with headings turning quickly and steps taken in a "quick-hold" manner rather than a graceful manner. American and International styles are similar and often danced in ballrooms. Argentine tango is very different in style and is not danced so often in ballrooms, but at special "Argentine tango dance parties," where nothing is danced but Argentine tango all night long. Argentine tango is unusual in that the leader must know every step the follower is taking and see it in his mind's eye. Argentine tango is often very smooth and romantic, unlike American and International. However, Argentine tango can also be very fast and exciting, depending on the music. As an example of a difference, in Argentine tango the leader sometimes steps forward toward the follower with his left foot while the follower si stepping backward with her left foot. This is never done (to my knowledge) in American and International styles. Argentine tango also has some very unique steps where the dancers kick between each others' legs.

The Tango Renaissance by Christine Denniston Christine Denniston is author of Dancing Tango
The fall of the military junta in Argentina in 1983 began a spectacular Tango Renaissance in Buenos Aires. Friends of mine who were in Buenos Aires at that time tell me the atmosphere was extraordinary. Suddenly everyone wanted to move. It was as though a physical weight had been lifted from them. Yoga classes were full. Martial arts classes were full. Dance classes of all kinds were full. And suddenly people wanted to learn to dance Tango, the ultimate symbol of Argentina to the rest of the world, because suddenly it felt all right to be proud to be Argentine again. read more

Argentine Tango Blooms under Miami's Palm Trees

MIAMI (Reuters) - You have to sign a release form accepting that your instructor m hold you close, touch you and invade your personal space.

But apart from that American touch, when the bellows instrument known as a bandoneon sets off a wistful tango, you might just as well be in Buenos Aires.

Tango classes and ballrooms -- milongas, as they are called -- are booming in Miami, the heavily Hispanic city better known for salsa and other Latin rhythms. read more
Seeking All Things Tango He held her tightly, pressing one hand into the back of her black halter dress. She wound her fingers around the nape of his neck. Together, they tangoed across the dance floor, their cheeks, shoulders, hips all touching. This wasn't the kind of tango of old Hollywood movies in which the man and woman arch far away from each other at the waist, face opposite directions and march with arms extended. read more
