What is tango

Joining the school of argentinian tango You can't know in advance if you are going to like teachers, tango music, dance itself, milongas where you'll be dancing and people that will surround you on your lessons and parties. Some people come just to introduce new dance to themselves, they are enough to have a basic course and then they just tell "it's interesting but I will have no more, that's just not mine and I don't want to waste time". Clearly everyone should understand that basic course is simply not enough to dance well. No secret that students start to get a bit of understanding of what just tango is only after a year of studying. And a freedom in technics appears after 2 years of constant studies. After all tango is not just a dance, it's an interaction with music, knowing it, with partner, hall, surrounding people, your clothe and body culture, finally the culture of Argentina it's national behaviour and people's characters. This is a social dance. It pushes you to build relations with people, learn to be communicative and open. Then parties and lessons will provide you with real satisfaction
and will give the possibility to find new friends for the long timebeing.
