Summary: The Latin dance known as the Tango originated in the Argentinean capital of Buenos Aires, but has spread all over the world, allowing for changes to the dance in each area. Ballroom Tangos, including American and International Tango, incorporate the head snapping, staccato music and quick movements seen in movies such as “True Lies” and “Mr. And Mrs. Smith”; whereas Argentina's Tango neither has head snapping nor fast music and is a more fluid dance. The music in the Tango in Argentina originally blended music from Africa, South America, and Europe. Whether you are learning the Argentina version or the American version of the Tango, practice is necessary and fun!
In this series of free video dance lessons you'll get expert instruction on dancing the Tango. Ballroom dance instructor Sarolta Eke demonstrates the basic steps, moves and turns that are the foundation of the Tango. She and her partner Tamas Kassay teach you the importance of listening to the music to understand the rhythm of the tango, and how to do the Tango walk, outside swivel moves, and ladies' and men's' promenade steps. Watch demonstrations of gentleman's and lady's dance steps for the basic Tango and practice the dance for free and at home!
Expert: My name is Sarolta Eke. I am 32 years old. I live in Budapest, Hungary. I have started to dance in 1992. I have danced in competitions for 6 years in both Ballroom and Latin dances. I have reached the highest level ranking. During the 6 years that I participated in competitions I had many finalist results in different competitions (Ballroom: 6 times champion, 8 times 2nd place, 6 times 1st place; Latin: once champion, 4 times 3rd place).
Sarolta Eke & Tamas Kassay became Ballroom champions in Budapest and at the national level competitions we have reached 3rd place in Ballroom and 4th place in Latin dances. In 2001 Sarolta became a dance teacher and started my own dance club. Meanwhile she has finished her studies at the Hungarian Dance Academy as a dance educator. She has been teaching for 6 years now and many of my students became finalists in both Ballroom and Latin dances. Last year one of the couples from her school became champions in Ballroom dances in a Hungarian competition. She speaks fluent English as well.
