Dear Tangueros, friends, We should remember that is the second time around the world for Argentine Tango. The first time was in the early 1920s. At that time it suffered some changes, first by the Argentine families that spent time in the European Capitals, they purged the tango of "indecent" moves and lyrics before they started to teach i to the European aristocracy. Later is was changed to make it more the "other" ballroom dances. An embrace in "V" the torsos apart. Symmetrical steps, the woman does a mirror image of the man's footwork. Then the music acquired a marching beat, "more reliable", so that the dance could be taught by counting steps in slow and quick sequences. I personally like most of them, I even dance American tango style, sometimes; but my heart is with the Argentine Tango, the original one that gives me the strongest feeling and communication with my partner.
