By taking a couple of tango dance lessons, and by learning a few simple moves, you can do it like a professional. Originally, this famous dancing style was not danced as a couple, but alone; however, over the years, it became more like it is known today. The tango was first developed in South America.
You will need a partner, as it is not complete without a male and a female. It is of an intimate, but dramatic nature, and is therefore often called the 'dance of love'. The partners use a basic step along with some more complicated movements and turns.
The basic step is the foundation of the all the moves, and must be well practiced before continuing to the more technical steps. In all ballroom dances, the male must lead the female. Although she knows her moves, he must lead her. In the tango, the lady moves backwards, starting on her right foot, as the male 'pushes' her when he steps forward with his left foot. The same is repeated with the other leg. This whole move is finished to a single beat of the music, but it can be practiced more slowly at first.
The dance moves forward and then sideways. The next step is to the right-hand side, once again led by the male. He will step sideways onto his right foot, and his left will follow in a sliding motion. The same is the case for the lady. The dancers' heels are used first in the forward (lady backward) steps, and this is a unique aspect of the performance.
The tango is a graceful but fairly fast-paced dancing style. It was originally performed to music played by an orchestra, but now the right kind of music by a D. J is fine. Since that the dancing style is quick with sharp movements and turns, the ladies often wear skirts that swirl. Their dresses can be of any color, but are often quite dramatic, with darker colors.
Popular colors used for the dresses include orange, pink and red, while printed animal patterns are quite often used as well. Different types of stockings, or leggings can be worn, along with a heeled shoe of a medium height. The higher heel helps to add grace to the lady's movements. Hair should be neatly tied back.
Men should have ballroom shoes of a black color, and their outfit in general should go well with the lady's dress. A plain colored pants is usual, but the shirt could vary in its colors, and can be stylishly designed. This is not a 'collar and tie' kind of dance; it is about drama and passion.
A professional teacher at a dance school will provide you with tango dance lessons, for fun or for competitive purposes. The lessons enable you to learn as you perform, and are never boring. Instead of trying to imitate your friends' dancing styles, rather learn from an experienced dancer. You can also invite your friends to your classes, and have fun together.
