 pic: Daily Mail UK Tango newbies, are faulty assumptions stopping you from taking your first tango lesson? From my experience of teaching tango for over 17 years - these are the most common myths people have about tango... 1. It's full of complicated choreographies. 2. It's a ‘macho’ dance, with men leading and women following submissively. 3. It's a dance you have to start young (with all its kicks and flicks) 4. It's a very serious and melancholic dance. 5. It's “just a dance”. 6. It's a sensual, erotic dance (with shades of S & M) 7. It's that dance where the woman wears fishnets and a red dress (with optional red rose between the teeth) and the man a black suit. 8. It requires a partner to learn how to dance. Absolutely none of the above are true! These and other 'alternative facts' about tango are debunked in the following article by the London based-tango school Tango Space: 10 Tango Myths Busted - Click on the link for the article.
