танго салон

A style is used to describe a tango that began to be danced in the 40’s in Buenos Aires during the golden years of tango. It incorporates the rhythms of the milongueros and the more elaborate steps created  by the dancers as the music became more complex. with such orchestras as Troilo and Pugliese. The salon tango is also influenced in the posture by the show dancers of tango at that time, changing the posture from curved and irregular to straight and elegant. The emphasis is on precision of the footwork, adornments, elegance and a close but not milonguero embrace
