Dance styles explained

Salsa is not just salsa, and bachata is not just bachata: most dances come in several styles with their own timing, music and feel. Here is what the style names in the course listings actually mean — so you pick the course that really fits you.

Tango

Argentine tango is improvisation in a couple, not choreography. The styles differ mainly in the embrace and in how much space they need.

ArgentinoArgentinischer TangoThe improvised partner dance from Buenos Aires — embrace, walking, music.

The umbrella term for the dance born in Buenos Aires: leading and following in the embrace, improvised to the music, danced at milongas. Not to be confused with standardised ballroom tango. Courses usually start with walking, the embrace and basics such as ocho and cruce.

SalónTango SalonThe elegant milonga form: closed embrace, walking along the line of dance, little space needed.

Tango de Salón is the style of the milongas: a closer to closed embrace, elegant walking in the flow of the floor, compact and considerate figures. Its counterpart is Tango Escenario (stage tango) with big, choreographed movements.
