Enhance Your Social Expertise By Learning To Dance Argentine Tango
March 3rd, 2010 at 11:55If you do not know anything about Argentine Tango apart of the tons of cliches which many of us have in their minds, you actually might ask “What the heck is that fellow talking about?” Just give me a minute and I will explain.
Perhaps you know Tango only from movies where obscure figures on dim lighted dance floors do strange movements, chewing truck loads of roses. Perhaps you made up your judgment about Tango having seen ballroom dance competitions, frozen grins, rigid moves, heads twisting unnaturally with every movement… May be you went to a Tango Show, spectacular, technically brilliant sensuous and perhaps most galvanizing.
Yet, what has all this to do with social competence? To respond to this questions we’ve got to return to the origins of Tango. Tango started in Buenos Aires and Montevideo at the end of the 19th century. Immigrants from all around the planet came to the Rio della Plata hoping for a better live.
At the same time native Argentineans from the countryside came to Buenos Aires and Montevideo too. They’d lost their jobs on the enormous haciendas, the kingdom size cattle farms, and were attempting to find work in the big city. As both groups competed for roles, housing and frequently mere survival tensions were inevitable. On the other hand the clash of the cultures was the cradle of one of the most successful music styles and dances, the Tango.
Tango in its beginning was ( and still is ) a social dance, at that time danced typically by the normal folk, artisans, employees, tiny merchants… Tango was danced rather differently in the different quarters but to dance together all the dancers had to agree on one common code. One critical part of this code, which is still valid among real good Tango dancers, was the status for each other.
