TANGOSTAFFORD

Argentine tango is really a family of dances. There is the tango itself, there is a slightly faster and more quirky dance called the milonga and the romantic vals - or waltz. The tango is played and danced to a count of four beats repeated with the emphasis on the first and third beat... We believe that primarily, tango is a social dance to be engaged in as a partner and as a member of a whole dance floor. At its heart it is improvised with neither partner thinking any further ahead than the musical phrase, what space is available around you and what your partner is capable of doing... For many years Stafford has been a tango desert. We have had to travel extensively to develop and to enjoy the dance and we are now seeing this dance available to people around this area. We are now beginning to see the signs of this emerging through a healthy tango community developing through a network of tango societies in the surrounding area - (see other venues).
