Tango is a partner dance that originated in the 1880s along the River Plate, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, and soon spread to the rest of the world. Early tango was known as tango criollo (Creole tango). Today, there are many forms of tango extant. Popularly and among tango dancing circles, the authentic tango is considered to be the one closest to the form originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay. On August 31, 2009, UNESCO approved a joint proposal by Argentina and Uruguay to include the tango in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
Open practices
Delft Student Dance Association (D.S.D.A.) Blue Suede Shoes organizes open practices for Argentinian Tango.
Every quarter, you can take Argentinian Tango courses at X. During the open practice evenings, you can rehearse what you have learned during the course and ask fellow dancers for tips. The practices are a place where people socialize and train.
Everyone is welcome, from beginner to advanced dancer. Even if you are not a member of the association, you are very welcome to drop by; the first time is free of charge. We will take care of the music, so the only thing you need to bring is your enthusiasm and, if you have them, your dancing shoes.
See the Blue Suede Shoes website for location and times of the practices. Signing up beforehand is not required but is appreciated.
