Argentine Tango Styles

_
"There is no one tango; there are infinite number of tangos" - Pablo Veron

There are diffierent style of Argentine tango. Take a look at these performance videos danced by top dancers within their own style. You will see an overlap between them. Styles are not strictly defined and are only very broad descriptive terms. But each has its own flavour that may appeal to you. Bear in kind that when we dance socially, performance is not the goal but to share an enjoyable experience with your partner and the other dancers in the room while expressing your style and interpreting the music.
