Tango Dancing

The original tango that found its way to Europe from Argentina in the 1920's was considered too risqué for polite society. Consequently the dance and the music were altered and given a more standard ballroom look and sound. The change unfortunately stripped the dance of its passion. That changed when American actor Rudolph Valentino danced a steamy version in the movie "Four Horseman of the Apocalypse". The performance of that dance cemented his status as a sex symbol and forever put passion back into tango.

Ballroom style tango retains the original passion and drama of the original Argentine version however the ballroom principles make it possible for anyone to learn fairly quickly. Its strong movements, quick directional changes, dips and lunges develop the man's lead and allow the lady to indulge in a little dramatic flair.

Testimonials

Dancing has been the very best thing I have done for myself in a long time.  Litttle shy me now has a group of friends and I have the confidence to talk and dance with complete strangers.  All of the instructors are wonderful and I have learned so much from all of them.  Exercise has never been more fun and I jump at the chance to sweat some more.  In only 2 months I am down 20 pounds and even more inches.  I never thought I could learn to dance so quickly and get so much out of it.  Thank you from the bottom of my dancin' heart.
