Its origins can be traced back over 100 years to the melting pot of Buenos Aires from where it spread to the streets, salons and stages of the world.
Tangueros generally keep their feet close to the floor as they walk, ankles and knees brushing as one leg passes the other, but there is no "basic step." Even in a sequence, every movement is led in direction, speed and quality. So rather than patterns, tango relies on a direct non-verbal dialogue communicated through the embrace.
