8 Tango Myths Busted!

Tango newbies, are faulty assumptions stopping you from taking your first tango lesson?

From my experience of teaching tango for over 22 years - these are the most common myths people have about tango...

It's full of complicated choreographies.
It's a ‘macho’ dance, with men leading and women following submissively.
It's a dance you have to start young (with all its kicks and flicks)
t's a very serious and melancholic dance.
It's “just a dance”.
It's a sensual, erotic dance (with shades of S & M)
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.
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 - Thank you Tango Space for your work in revealing the true tango - the tango that aficionados all over the world are so passionate about!
