Argentine Tango, and it's child, Ballroom Tango both used a habanera rhythm originally. I don't know who changed first. Also, Argentine Tango in 1885ish (when it first came to Europe) would have looked very very different to the Argentine Tango of today. An AT dancer of that time would not consider any of Today's tangoes to be 'true tango'. Till about 1920 both BT and AT would have looked fairly similar. Then they evolved separately.

HORRIBLE

@milongfan One man's meat is a vegetarian's poison!

[milongfan]

@slam5 esto no es tango tanto en la musica como el baile,es un valzer a ritmo de tango

[slam5]

@milongfan English please. tx



[milongfan]

@slam5 dear friend, this is a beautiful dance tango but it has nothing, is a Valzer to the rhythm of Argentine tango, so I think it would have to call in another way, the movements, but figures and movements reminiscent of the old European dance. Anyway, the Tango is born In Argentina at the end of 800 in the brothels of Buenos Aires.The popular dance Argentina receives 150,000 new students a year in Buenos Aires.Hasta la vista!

@milongfan Please do not confuse the modern Argentine Tango with the foreplay before the service that occurred in the brothels of Buenos Aires before the service. Historically, Argentine Tango became very popular first in Paris then all over Europe, however, it had to be purified first. Europeans purified by putting on fancy dresses and tuxes, while the Argentinians through Gardel's music. From 1900 - 1920, Arg T was not danced at all! only sung. So please respect the two versions, please.

@Nartov

false! 1-music and dance are born with little time difference 2-tango records exist from 1850. 3 When the tango comes to Paris and was very popular throughout Buenos Aires, dance halls and teatros.4Gardel born long after the creation of music and dance tango

With the victory in Europe the rich Catholics begin to dance this dance sinner.

By their complicated shapes and sensual tango in Europe has been modified to make it simple to dance like the waltz.

Esto no es tango!!!!

[christholst13]

@milongfan Waltz is not simple to dance. If you think that, then it's because you don't do it right.

[milongfan]

The waltz did not even dance, I dance Argentine tango. This adaptation of the Argentine tango, it would have to call in a distinta.Porque not retain any basic step

[TheEducativa]

Eles dançam muito bem!

[0verdose666]

wheres the seduction? The intimacy? The passion?? Tango isnt just about body movement, but sexual and lustful character between the dancers too.

[LuuvDance]

Wtf .. ? Couple number 200 what in hell are they doing there they suck ! They don´t even do heels and toes right ! LMFAO .. it´s just funny that they made it to the final ¨!

[joshdance]

This is the freaking UK Open, one of the most prestigious competitions in the world, and this is Timothy Hawkins and Joanne Bolton. If you had been dancing longer than 6 months with a decent teacher you wouldn't have said that. Keep trying.

[ddr1011]

i've been dancing less than six months, and i can spot a chasse. i'm with joshdance: keep trying...who flames a ballroom dance video anyway?

[ABCdontfcukwithme]

I think it's Olé Guapa

[IYarD]

[italiano77077]

It's called "La cumparsita" by Carlos Gardel

[muppeteer1969]
