Tango History
When It Started
At the beginning of the 20th century, there were dancers and orchestras from Buenos Aires that had traveled to Europe. From there, the first European tango craze started and it took place in Paris. Soon after that, London, Berlin and many of the other capitals followed. Around 1911 in the United States of America, “tango” was often applied to dances in a 2/4 or 4/4 rhythm, much like the one-step. Tango music was mostly played at a much faster tempo and Dance Instructors from this period in time called it the “North American tango” vs the “Argentine Tango”. At the end of 1913, it started to be a craze that hit both Finland and the Big Apple (New York City). So it’s no surprise that by 1914, other tango styles began to emerge, along with variations such as the Albert Newman’s “Minuet” tango.
Tango Styles
The tango has a variety of styles that came into existence from different regions and eras of Argentina as well as in other places around the world. This happened due to the cultural elements of the region where it was being danced. Even things such as the type of crowd in the venue and even the fashions in clothing. The styles are danced in either open embrace or close embrace. This is where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango) which is taught in Tango Lessons Toronto.

Ballroom Tango ( taught in Tango Lessons Toronto )
Since this is what we teach, we will go more into detail about this style of Tango. First of all, Ballroom tango has 2 distinct styles. One of them is the “International” style and the other is the “American” style. These styles descended from when the tango first went abroad to Europe and North America. The dance was simplified and adapted to the preferences of ballroom dancers. It was then used for International Ballroom dance competitions as well as American Ballroom dance competitions.
Subsequently, the English tango evolved into a highly competitive dance where the partners always remain in the closed position. The American tango, on the other hand, evolved into social dance and competitive dance where the partners are constantly switching between an open position and closed positions. The focus is on leading and following skills. This led to some distinctions in the basic technique and style.
Style of Tango Lessons Toronto
In Ballroom Tango Lessons Toronto we use different music and styling than Argentine Tango. The movements are more staccato and the dancers constantly have head snaps incorporated into their movements. The head snaps are totally foreign to Argentine Tango and were introduced to Ballroom Tango in 1934.
The History of Tango Music
First of all, the music came from a combination of various forms of music in Europe. The word “tango” and “Tambo” were initially used to refer to musical gatherings of slaves. As a result, colonial authorities attempted to ban such gatherings since 1789.
- Tango
- Electronic tango-inspired music
- “Alternative tango”
In addition, the newer style called New Tango was popularized in recent years by a young generation of dancers. This style of music is the style we tend to play in Tango Lessons in Toronto. Furthermore, this style is associated with dancers who enjoy dancing to jazz- and techno music mixed together. Especially relevant is that the traditional tango compositions are always very apparent in the music.
