Two to Tango
by Genevieve Lacoste
The Tango originates back to the times of Africa slavery, primarily in Haiti, Cuba and Argentina. It was usually performed by women only, but it soon became a dance for couples to express their love and romance for one another. Both the music and the dance have always been pretty passionate and erotic. Interestingly, it is the early Tango styles that very much influence the way we interpret the dance today.
The dance spread quickly through Europe during the 1900's. France were the first to adopt it in 1907 and it soon crossed the channel to England by 1912. The Tango was so popular in France and England that 'Tango teas' became the craze; acting as a little light in the darkness of war.
There exists several styles of Tango; however, each and every mode is intense, sexy and seductive. Furthermore, all takes on the classic are performed in a close embrace where couples are connected by either the chest or the hip area throughout the entire piece. Despite the different styles, there is one approach known by all, far and wide. Characterised by strong, dramatic head snaps, it is none-other than the fashionable Ballroom Tango.
Even now, Tango is as popular as it ever was. There are films based around the dance in abundance; such as, Scent of a Woman, Take the Lead, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, True Lies, Shall We Dance, and Frida. There are also a number of dance-based shows taking over our TV screens, particularly the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. For the last six series, Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace have dazzled audiences with their stunning Tango routines. Consequently, they have recently formed their own live show, Midnight Tango, a breathtaking evening bringing all the excitement, sensuality and grace of this most invigorating dance-form to life.
If you are interested in learning how to Tango, look for a class in dance studios in your area. Tango classes are lots of fun, and newcomers tend to pick up the dance quickly. Private member's club, Home House of Portman Square, frequently put on Tango evenings for members, of which they can bring one guest along with them. If you are looking to partake in a Tango session at Home House, you'll love learning about its culture and going beyond the steps to explore Tango music and its milongas. It will be like attending one of those incredible Tango teas, where everything comes together like magic and you end up dancing the night away!
Home House is a members club for people from all walks of life, which is part of its appeal.
