The Tango Page is for anyone interested in the originally and authentic Argentine Tango. The objective is to provide a channel of communication between those dancers and teachers who have already discovered the special nature of the Tango and to promote the dance to those who have not yet had the opportunity to come under its spell The aim is to provide news, information and reviews to keep you in touch with Tango. It is hoped to publish details of dance schools in the UK offering Tango lessons and to give links to enthusiasts in other countries.
This page is sponsored by Sounds Sensational producers of Tango Argentino The Video - The Music - The Technique and maintained by Max Smith in the U.K.
Tango is not a thought, it is a feeling, an emotion, an enigma. It is a dance of a hundred secrets, a thousand shadows, and a million mysteries. It is the dance of the backstreets and of high society. It is the ultimate dance of man and woman. It is the Argentine Tango.
The video brings to you the history of the Dance, an exciting demonstration routine, plus an easy to follow dance workshop. It builds from basic steps to groups of figures and routines and is presented by European and World Champions Paul & Elaine Bottomer.
An album of some of the most beautiful and inspired Argentine Tangos. Available on CD, LP or Music Cassette

The Book |
The Tango emerged in the closing years of the Nineteenth Century, from the squalid immigrant ghettos of Buenos Aires. As a song, the Tango was the consolation of man in music.But the song soon demanded further expression and the dance was born. The Tango became almost an anthem for the people and symbolized their spirit,the spirit of Canyengue.For a while the Tango was banned in the shadowy corners of back street bars and the btothels of Bue\nos Aires.Here the Tango became even more sensuous and daring and,by the time it was once again permitted,had acquired the flavour of forbidden fruit. Then the Tango emigrated to Paris and the dance of the back streets was introduced to the salons of the world. Today an exciting revival of the original and authentic style of Argeentine tango is being enjoyed throughout the dancing world. |
