Tango Dance: Its History

---

It is revealed by specific sources that the origination of tango dance took place in Morocco or Spain and that the Spanish settlers introduced Tango to the new world.

According to certain sources, the birth of tango dance took place along with the gauchos from Argentina. The story runs that the gauchos (cowboys) had to put on defensive leather clothing known as “chaps” over their trousers and as the chaps were toughened from the sweat and foam of the horses` body, the gauchos had to walk with bended knees.

However, the cowboys would throng the local nightclubs with bended knees and on specific occasions, they would ask the girls present at those nightclubs to dance with them. It is altogether known that a lady dancing with a cowboy at the nightclub always puts her hand at a low position on his left hip close to his pocket and keeps her head back. This dance between the Argentinean cowboys and the local girls is considered to be the earliest tango dance in history.

Slowly and gradually, tango dance, the particular type of ballroom dancing, became widespread throughout Europe in 1900s. Further pertaining to tango dance, it is known that during the winter of 1910-11, tango dance was made popular in New York and thereafter the dance form was made hugely popular in 1921 by Rudolph Valentino.

There are various styles of tango and these include International style as well as Gaucho, French and Argentine styles of tango. However, the American tango is known to be composed of the best elements of each tango style.
