Improvisation is the art of spontaneous choreography.- Karole Armitage


In tango dance, improvisation is a crucial element, as it allows the dancers to spontaneously create their choreography on the dance floor based on the music and the connection they share with their partner. Tango is known for its improvisational nature, with each dance being a unique expression of the music and the dancers' interpretation of it. The dancers must be skilled in both leading and following to create a seamless and harmonious dance.



Tango improvisation requires dancers to be fully present in the moment, connecting with their partner, the music, and their own creativity to create a spontaneous work of art. The music from the golden eras of tango between the 1920s and 1950s often sets the stage for these improvised dances, evoking romantic and nostalgic feelings among avid tango dancers. As the dancers connect with the music, they allow it to guide their movements and inspire their improvisation, creating a unique and passionate dance that is a true expression of the soul.



In tango, improvisation truly is the art of spontaneous choreography, brought to life by the music and the dancers' connection to each other and to the rich history of this captivating dance form.
