The Historical Origin of Tango
Tango is said to be a secret dance between lovers. Men used to wear short knives when they danced. Although they don't wear knives, dancers must look serious, look around and be alert to being found. All other dances should be smiling. Just don't laugh when you tango, but look serious. Tango is very rich in body language, and the standardized tango used in sports dance competitions is much simpler than the local tango in Argentina.

Mironga in tango is actually a cheerful tango dance type, which originated from the passionate Habanera dance in Africa and the brisk Boca dance in Europe. Therefore, when male and female dancers cooperate with this lively and playful Milonga music, they usually get rid of the deep sadness of the original Argentine tango and turn into an atmosphere in which men and women play with each other.

Tango dance originated from a folk dance in central and western Africa. /kloc-In the 20th century, a large number of immigrants from Europe and Africa flooded into Argentina, and many people temporarily stayed in Buenos Aires because they had nowhere to take refuge, so brothels and bars near the pier became the main places for them to indulge in debauchery and drown their sorrows. At this time, the song and dance forms brought by immigrants from European countries such as Spain and Africa merged with the local indigenous culture to form the tango, which was originally famous with the name of "Bai Le Kong Colt" (a dance with pauses). Later, people who liked Buenos Aires changed this dance in two ways. They first changed the so-called "Polka rhythm" to "Habanella rhythm", and then called this dance "tango".

When tangono first spread to America, it merged some Latin American folk dance styles and formed two kinds of tango dances, Mexico and Argentina. Later, tango was introduced to Europe, and influenced by European folk dances, three kinds of tango dances were formed in Spain, Italy and Britain. The predecessor of the contemporary international standard tango dance is the Royal British tango dance, which combines the essence of all kinds of tango dances in the world and enjoys the reputation of "the king of dance" because of its strong and straightforward style. The beat of tango is 2/4 and the speed is 33 bars per minute. Its basic rhythm is strong and exciting Peng | Peng Cha Peng Cha |, highlighting its drumming sound, mostly changed to | Peng Peng |.

Tango, as a national dance, has long been well known to the public, but its dynamic and static dance steps, glance left and right eyes, and distant and strange music make tango put on a mysterious and strange coat.

The most striking feature of tango dance step is "the crab takes the catwalk". When the dance steps need to move forward, the dancers move wildly; When the dance steps need to be reversed, the dancer moves sideways and forwards. At the same time, the dance steps of tango dancers are often fast and slow with the change of music beat, so tango dance is also called "the dance of instantaneous pause". In this way, the steps of tango dance have formed the characteristics of wanting to enter and retreat, being scattered and moving. In addition, the tango dancer pays attention to the vertical upper body, the heels of both feet are raised and the knees are slightly bent. All movements are the feeling of downward extension of strength, and the dance is very calm and powerful. When excellent tango dancers dance, we can hardly see the movements, only see the position of the end of the movements, only the lines, speed and changing center of gravity, giving people a firm and angular feeling. Argentine tango is mainly about calf exercise. Male and female dancers jump out of a series of dazzling dance steps with skillful cooperation, and the intertwined limbs fully show the beauty of the human body. Tango dancers have serious facial expressions and stare at each other affectionately, but from time to time they quickly turn their heads and look around. There is also a legend about the origin of this action, saying that a sailor had a girlfriend before. But one day when they came back from the sea and were dancing, the sailor found that his girlfriend had been turning her head, so he turned around and found his girlfriend looking at his new partner. The sailor was jealous at once. From then on, the male dancer quickly turned his head to supervise the movements of his partner. The statement of the association.

However, apart from the unique and graceful figure of dancers, the biggest difference between Argentine tango and national tango is that Argentine tango is emotional. In the eyes of Argentines, tango is like a war or struggle in which men and women voluntarily participate. Strong eye contact and physical contact between male and female partners are the soul of tango.

Argentine tango music combines dance elements from Africa, India, Spain and Latin, and is as full of deep emotions as dance. The most typical band form of tango music is the rhythm played by piano and bass, and the melody played by concertina and violin. Among them, the hexagonal accordion originated in Germany is the most distinctive tango instrument. From the melody of hexagonal accordion, we can hear the deep homesickness of Argentines.

Immigrants come from different countries and regions in the world, and they bring different dances and music. Tango is a beautiful flower growing in this rich land.

Tango is a comprehensive art with unique style, mainly Italian and Spanish styles, mixed with the rhythm of some black music and dance, integrating music, dance, singing and poetry.

Tango comes from humble origins. At first, they only performed in dilapidated warehouses and even brothels in the port. The audience is an inferior person who sells coolies, so they are despised by the upper class. However, the charm of this art form is irresistible. By the beginning of the 20th century, tango had been widely accepted by the public, and its golden age came to the 1940s, when a large number of songwriters, singers and dancers emerged.
