Tango is a ballroom dance that evolved away from its original Argentine tango roots. The present-day ballroom tango is divided into two disciplines: American Style and International Style. Both styles, taught at Allegro, may be found in social and competitive dances. Both styles share a closed dance position, but the American style allows the dancers to separate from closed position to execute open moves, like underarm turns, alternate hand holds, dancing apart, and side-by-side choreography. Allegro frequently teaches ballroom tango and plays it at all the ballroom parties.
