The passionate and dramatic tango made its first appearance around 1915. Originally called the Argentine tango, ballroom tango has all the mysterious, dramatic tension found in the original dance mixed with a more disciplined and aggressive ballroom posture. The tango, because of Argentine tango, is one of the most highly stylized ballroom dances, and has been popularized in many Hollywood movies. Knowing the tango shows class and distinction whether or not you rub elbows with directors.
