Nhảy Tango

Tuổi già cần vận động và sống lạc quan yêu đời, mới sống lâu và hạnh phúc được. Chúng tôi học khiêu vủ nhiều năm từ năm 60 tuổi đến nay, để giải trí và giử gìn sức khoẻ lúc tuổi già.
Khiêu vủ đem lại nhiều phút giây say đắm, hạnh phúc tuyệt vời. Các bạn có xem phim “Shall we dance?” chưa? Tâm trạng cũa tôi giống tâm trạng nhân vật trong phim nầy.., giống phần nào.
Người Việt Nam mình rất thích Tango và Waltz. Nhạc Việt Nam có nhiều bản hai điệu nầy. Trong các đêm dạ vủ cộng đồng Việt Nam vùng New York, tôi nhận thấy luôn luôn có hai loại nhạc nầy. Mời các bạn tìm hiểu thêm lịch sử nhạc Tango, các loại Tango và cách nhảy một vài bước Tango International Style sau đây..
“Tango is a social dance which originated in Argentina and Uruguay (Rio de la Plata). The musical styles that evolved together with the dance are also known as "tango".
Early tango was known as tango criollo, or simply tango. Today, there are many tango dance styles, including Argentine Tango, Uruguayan Tango, Ballroom tango (American and International styles), Finnish tango, Chinese tango, and vintage tango. The Argentine tango is often regarded as the "authentic" tango since it is closest to that originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay, though other types of tango have developed into mature dances in their own right.
Music and dance elements of tango are popular in activities related to dancing, such as figure skating, synchronized swimming, etc., because of its dramatic feeling and its cultural associations with romance and love. The tango is an original dance rhythm in ice dancing...
Ballroom tango, divided in recent decades into the "International" (English) and "European" styles, has descended from the tango styles that developed when the tango first went abroad to Europe and North America. The dance was simplified, adapted to the preferences of conventional ballroom dancers, and incorporated into the repertoire used in International Ballroom dance competitions. English Tango was first codified in October 1922, when it was proposed that it should only be danced to modern tunes, ideally at 30 bars per minute (i.e. 120 beats per minute - assuming a 4/4 measure).
Subsequently the English Tango evolved mainly as a highly competitive dance, while the American Tango evolved as an unjudged social dance with an emphasis on leading and following skills. This has led to some principal distinctions in basic technique and style. Nevertheless there are quite a few competitions held in the American style, and of course mutual borrowing of technique and dance patterns happens all the time.
Ballroom tangos also use different music and styling from Argentine tangos, with more staccato movements and the characteristic "head snaps". The head snaps are totally foreign to Argentine and Uruguayan tango.”

“In the late 19th century, Buenos Aires was filled with immigrants and transients from Europe and Africa, many of whom found themselves lonely and looking for companionship in their new foreign habitat. Naturally, these forlorn people found their way to the portenos, seeking drinks to drown their sorrows, temporary friendship, and any entertainment to help distract their depressed feelings. The variety of cultures combined to bring about a new style of music, formed from African beats, Indian rhythms, Latin influences, and the popular music of the pampas (flatlands) in Argentina.
As you may guess, this new music was dubbed Tango. Historians argue the name comes from the African candombe drum beat known as "tan-go", or possibly from Latin word tangere (to touch). The dance began as a pantomime of communication between prostitute and pimp. The improvisation was filled with emotional outpouring and suggestive gyration. This sexual choreography was accented by the melancholy drone of the bandoneon, a German instrument very similar to the accordion.
These crude beginnings developed into less obscene styles that symbolized the lower class of Argentina through the turn of the century. Throughout the tango’s evolution, two things remained constant: the background music of the bandoneon, and the passionate translation of emotions into dance.
International Style
As they did with many other dances, the Europeans (most notably the English) adopted the Tango and made it their own. A very powerful dance was the result, with big movements, dramatic gestures, and quick snaps of the head from one position to another. Grouped together in competitive events with the smooth ballroom dances, the International Tango incorporated many of the patterns characteristics of Waltz and Foxtrot. But it still mantains a very unique character which sets it apart from all of the other ballroom dances.”
