Argentine Tango
|
|
“Tango is trying to caress the music with your feet.” Gavito Argentine Tango is quite different from any other kind of dance - every step is led by the man and followed by the woman, and they are communicating using the Tango embrace instead of words. Tango is knowing each other and exchanging emotions without speaking. Every dance is always unique... it is pure improvisation! |

Milonga
|
|
The Argentine Tango is an evolution of the Milonga, which was quite common in the Rio de la Plata area of Argentina and Uruguay. Its roots can be traced to the African community in Argentina and Uruguay. It was one of the most popular dances in that area in the 1870s. Milonga music derived from an earlier style of singing known as the payada de contrapunto. The song was set to a lively 2/4 tempo and often included musical improvisation. Over time, dance steps and other musical influences were added, eventually giving rise to Tango. Movements in Milonga are normally faster with respect to Tango and there are typically no pauses. It is a kind of rhythmic walking without complicated figures, with a much more "rustic" style than Tango. There are different styles of Milonga: > Milonga Lisa (Simple Milonga), in which the dancer steps on every beat of the music; > Milonga con Traspié, in which the dancer uses Traspiés or contrapasos (changes of weight from one foot to the other and back again in double time or three steps in two beats) to interpret the music. |
