Dance Styles - Tango (American Ballroom Latin)

There are several types of Tango: Argentine Tango, International (English) Ballroom Tango, American Ballroom Tango, Tango Nuevo (New Tango), Tango Milonguero and more! Most Tango dances can be danced to the same Tango music, except for Tango Milonguero which is associated with Milonga music.

The Tango we teach at BoogieCamp is American Ballroom Tango. Although American Tango is easier than Argentine Tango, it still can be one of the more challenging dance styles. I can't promise that it will be easy, but it will be worth it!
