What does tango mean?

Answer 1

Its a type of dance! Similar to the foxtrot, it originated in Argentina. Girls put their right hands up and hold hands with the guy, and put their left hand on the guy's shoulder. Boy put their right hands on the girl's waist/lower back. Participants follow a step pattern (tee, eye, en gee oh/ 1, 2, 345) in a circle, and then turn and follow it to the center of the circle.

Tango has the famous "head snap" move, and the arms curling over your head like a scorpian.

or if you mean the dance tango...

Tango is a musical genre and its associated dance forms that originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay and spread to the rest of the world soon after that.

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 and vintage tangos. What many consider to be the authentic tango is that closest to that originally danced in Argentina and Uruguay, though other types of tango have developed into mature dances in their own right.
