For many people, their first encounter
with 'Argentine Tango' is something like
what is seen in the video at the right.

Perhaps you have seen people

This is NOT Argentine Tango.
(Neither the dance nor the music.)

The videos directly above show
the real Argentine Tango.

To learn what Argentine Tango
is really about, come to one of our
Introductory Tango Lessons,
