Dance on stage with its passion and virtuosity takes you into the world of love and graceful performance. This dance originated in the city's ports among poor immigrants, gaucho shepherds and other unsettled people. At first, the dance was performed by two men quite cheekily and received its name from the Latin “tangere” - to touch. Over time, Tango became slower and acquired new tones of intimacy. Tango orchestras appeared. The dance was rapidly gaining popularity, and now Tango is one of the most sensual dances on earth, it teaches sincerity, makes men remember gallantry, women remember tenderness.
