Argentine Tango History
In 1880-1910 groups of men would get together to practice, improvise and innovate,
creating new moves and new steps this approach allowed a rapid development of this dance.
To be a good dancer was (still is) a sure way of attracting the ladies'
attention... men practiced among themselves so that they could surprise, and
attract the admiration of other men and women. The Argentine Tango was initially danced in bars, cafes,
gambling houses, and quilombos. Later on, "Dancing Houses," that provided
girls for dancing and entertainment appeared. They started teaching their sisters, neighbor girls, and other female
members of the large Argentinean family, such as cousins and aunts, this most
unusual new dance. They were taught the "purified version" as well.
If one considers that Saborido sold about one hundred thousand samples of
his tango 'Yo soy la morocha' (I am the brunette) in the few first months of
1906, one could deduce that tango was executed fairly frequently, including
by family girls, who inserted its beats between the Blue Danube vals and Fur
Elise. In summary the most probable origin of the word tango is: "closed space" or
"circle".
