The Tango, originated from Argentina, was the dance between the gauchos (cowboys) of Argentina and ladies of the night. The lady would dance in the crook of the man's right arm, holding her head back. There are no rise and fall in the steps. This should be a very level, flat dance. The legs are therefore always slightly flexed (i.e. the knees should be slightly bent at all times). The Tango is a very emotional dance and this should be conveyed. The action must always be staccato with lots of clipped movements. Look out for sharp head turning and stops. Also, look out for the Links - these are the sharp movements in-between the walks. The hold is different in the tango. The man's left arm is more towards head level. The general hold is more compact and the couple is tighter together. Tango Walks should be done with the heels leading
