Most people unacquainted with tango may associate it remotely with Argentina and closely with elderly people. Contrary to such assumptions, the world of tango is extremely multi-layered and surprisingly in-touch with the progress. After all, pope Della Chiesa would have hardly otherwise condemned the dance, had it been ‘boring’ enough to be suitable only for the elders! Tango music is diverse and can bring about associations with anything from a desperate longing for return of the home, or the loved one, from afar, to quiet melancholy, to energetic and merry social intercourse, to the most heartbreaking despair, to uncontrollable envy, to burning passion, to uncensored adultery. The ‘old age’ stigma attached to tango no longer holds true, as more and more young people discover the power of this dance. Simply watch this smoking hot video, for instance, and dare say that THIS tango and THIS music is for the old:

Oh but surely, you’d say, one can show glimpses of the actual dance and make them look hot – what about some actual dancing that gives the same impression? Thy wish is my command, please enjoy Tango Fire:

Do not think tango is easy though – it can be rather demanding physically. If you are a general fitness/exercise freak, foregoing one of your gym sessions for a tango lesson would not result in fewer calories burned. It may turn out to be an even better work out than your habitual cardio, like this one:

On the other hand, tango can be also very sensual, more relaxed and intimate, and does not force you into any crazy tricks – it can be enchantingly beautiful even without the fast pace and intensity:

Tango is an amazing dance to take upon for its grace, beauty and energy. It allows one to learn to control one’s body, to acquire expressiveness, tension and intensity of movements, improves balance, lead and follow skills. It can cater to anyone’s taste music-wise and style-wise and manifests itself over time through an acquired grace of movement, better posture and higher sensitivity to the beauty of the world.
