ARGENTINE TANGOOriginating from Buenos Aires, Argentine Tango was once considered a dance style of the ‘unprivileged’, however it has transformed into a global phenomenon with Argentinian cultural significance. Although Argentine Tango and Tango may seem similar, they are in fact different. The main difference is that Tango is more structured and choreographed, whilst Argentine Tango is a social dance. Think red roses, Bond movies, and a lot of mystery!
