This is the authentic and original style of Tango that originated in the back street bars and caf?s of the Orillas (outskirts) of Buenos Aires . It is a raw, earthy and compact style requiring little floor space. The man and woman weave intricate figures around each other as they step between each others feet and legs entwine to perform some of the most sensuous moves.
Tango de Salon
As the Tango migrated from the Orillas (outskirts) to the salons (ballrooms) of the high class centre of Buenos Aires , the Tango took on a more formal and sophisticated feel incorporating walks to make the dance progress around the room according to European ballroom conventions.
Show Tango / Tango Fantasia
This style blends both Tango Orillero and Tango de Salon in a fantasy of Tango choreographed for the extremely popular series of Tango Shows touring the world.
Tango Vals - Tango Waltz
A charming variant of Tango in which the Tango steps are danced to the rhythm of the Viennese Waltz.
Milonga
Fun and lively, the Milonga was a fore-runner of the Tango from which the Tango originally borrowed many of its moves. Now the Milonga is enjoyed as part of a typical Tango programme.
