Tango Prohibido Delaware Tango Community

Tango Prohibido Delaware Tango Community Argentine tango community, Delaware. Local classes + trips to milongas (social dances). ABOUT ARGENTINE TANGO
The exact origins of tango are uncertain.

ARGENTINE TANGO DELAWARE offers social dancing at our monthly milonga and lessons in tango and its sister dances (milonga and vals). We are a community of Argentine tango dancers promoting social Argentine tango (completely different from ballroom-style Argentine tango) in Delaware. In the early 1900s, the dance and music developed together in the social cauldrons of port cities Montevideo and Bue

nos Aires, where fortune-seeking immigrants from all over Europe rubbed shoulders with native South Americans and African slaves. Most of the immigrants were men—competition for women was fierce—and it was in this lonely and desperate environment that they developed the intimate, elegant and seductive tango, practicing and refining it so that when they went to a milonga—a social dance—some woman—any woman—would be enticed to dance with them. This is a dance—or style of dance—like no other. More tender than ballroom, more subtle than salsa, it is absolutely beautiful, and habit-forming. We currently hold a monthly milonga and offer private instruction as well. Group lessons occur sporadically. If you are interested in tango, would like to be on our email list and/or have any questions, please send us a message! Abby & André

Clear, much-needed explanation of the tango line of dance/floorcraft. Sticking to a few simple principles allows dancers to focus less on traffic and more on enjoying the experience!

It is a very typical tango practice to have large numbers of people dancing together in small spaces. This is only possible because a set of dance floor rules

ARGENTINE TANGO DELAWARE- dance lesson, milonga--community of argentine tango dancers promoting social argentine tango throughout Delaware ABOUT ARGENTINE TANGO The exact origins of the tango are uncertain. In the early 1900s, the dance and music developed together in the social cauldrons of port cities Montevideo and Buenos Aires, where fortune-seeking immigrants from all over Europe rubbed shoulders with native South Americans and African slaves. Most of the immigrants were men—competition for women was fierce—and it was in this lonely and desperate environment that they developed the intimate, elegant and seductive tango, practicing it and refining it so that when they went to a milonga—a social dance—some woman—any woman—would be enticed to dance with them. This is a dance—or style of dance—like no other. More tender than ballroom, more subtle than salsa, it is absolutely beautiful, and habit-forming. We are thrilled to be able to offer weekly lessons and a monthly milonga at our new home—Take the Lead dance studio in Hockessin, DE. We also post about nearby tango events, instruction, and other random tango-related info.
