The Tango has become popularized in American culture through the cinema as well as other sports. Specifically, synchronized swimming and ice-skating have used many elements of tango in various routines. The Tango is also the feature of some weddings and dances.
On an emotional front, the Tango has become synonymous with romance, a language that transcends cultures. This has led to it being thought of as one of the most sensual, irresistible rituals a dancer can do.
When performing the tango, people typically dance to tango music. Three or four songs are often played concurrently, followed by a break that allows some dancers to clear the floor and others to enter.
One of its birthplaces, Tango’s popularity was compromised in 1960’s and 1970’s Buenos Aires when the military government enforced a ban on assemblies. Since the early 1990’s, however, the interest in Tango has been restored and presently the dance continues to go on, tangoing across Argentina and everywhere else.
