Derby Tango

Derby Tango 'Derby Tango Practica' is a community event for anyone who dances Tango, no matter where you are on your journey. The usual fees cover the hall rental etc.

The remainder pays for workshops by maestros or donated to the local homeless charities. Argentine tango is an improvisational dance based on the four building blocks of walking, turning, stopping and embellishments. The dance is like a puzzle that gets put together differently each time. Women and men bring their own styles and embellishments to the dance which contribute significantly to the exc

itement and unpredictability of the experience. Even though dancers follow certain conventions, they never quite know how someone will construct a dance, add an embellishment or interpret the music. The surprises possible within the dance are what make the dance so addictive. It really does take two to tango, because the dance isn't just about the man leading and the woman following. Both partners have important things to contribute—like all good conversations. Tango is danced counter clockwise around a floor just like a horse race. Dancers try to stay on the outside edges of the floor and away from the centre space. If you were able to look down on a tango dance floor, you'd see dancers move as if floating down a river—flowing smoothly forward sometimes and occasionally stopping for a spin.
