If you do not know anything about Argentine Tango apart of the tons of cliches which many people have in their minds, you might ask yourself “What the heck is that man chatting about?” Just give me a minute and I’m going to explain.
Perhaps you know Tango just from flicks where obscure figures on dim lighted dance floors do strange movements, gnawing wagon tons of roses. Perhaps you made up your judgment about Tango having seen ballroom dance competitions, frozen grins, rigid moves, heads twisting unnaturally with every movement… Could be you went to a Tango Show, impressive, technically brilliant sensual and maybe most impressive.
Yet, what has all this to do with social competence? To reply to this questions we’ve got to return to the origins of Tango. Tango started in Buenos Aires and Montevideo at the end of the 19th century. Immigrants from all around the globe came to the Rio della Plata hoping for a better live.
At the same time native Argentineans from the country came to Buenos Aires and Montevideo too. They had got made redundant on the giant haciendas, the dominion size cattle farms, and were trying to find work in the big old city. As both groups competed for roles, housing and often mere survival tensions were unavoidable. On the other hand the clash of the cultures was the cradle of one of the most successful music styles and dances, the Tango.
Tango in its beginning was ( and still is ) a social dance, at that time danced mainly by the ordinary people, craftsmen, employees, small merchants… Tango was danced a little differently in the different quarters but to dance together all the dancers had to agree upon one common code. One critical part of this code, which is still valid among real good Tango dancers, was the status for each other.
