Tango is more than figures or steps. Unlike Tango images of complicated and provocative movements commonly featured in media, Tango is to pursue the feeling inspired by music and shared between partners connected through embrace while walking together in unison.  

 

So, if you learn a good embrace and learn to walk to the music, you will be able to dance Tango.

However, a majority of Tango classes around the world fail to convey such an inspiration of Tango dance, instead promoting figures and steps. This prevailing phenomenon is attributed to a lack of understanding of the history and culture of Tango originated in the streets and salons of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
