Tango Night at The Fluvial
Tango is one of the most popular of the historical dances here in Argentina. Originating in the late 1800's, it gained popularity within the lower-class circles that mainly centralized within the capital city of Buenas Aires and also across the Rió de la Plata in Montevideo, Uruguay. It quickly spread throughout all of Latin America, gaining popularity and picking up adaptations from within every society that took it in, and has become today a very influential piece in pop-cultures througout the entire world, including The United States.
A few Thursday nights ago I attended a Tango Lesson, my first, and caught some of the beautiful performance on video camera, you can watch on the youtube link below.
((Bailé con la Profesora/ I danced with the professor))

((Bailé con la Profesora/ I danced with the professor))I learned that in Tango the man must lead the women with confidence in every step precisely to the rhythm of the music, but it is the women who displays the most elegant, the most physically masterful, and most inteligent performance in the motions of the Tango dance.
