December 11, on the birthday of the Argentine singer and film actor, the famous "King of Tango" Carlos Gardel (1887 (or 1890) - 1935), the International Day of Tango is celebrated - a dance celebration whose philosophy lies in confrontation...

Life in tango is in full swing, and in the center of the dance are the Man and the Woman. Their relationships, passions, conflicts, reconciliation, "third extra", jealousy, hatred - all the feelings that fill human life.

In this dance, it is not customary to talk, smile, an invitation spoken out loud can be regarded as an insult. Only a glance and a slight movement of the lips are allowed.

Tango (Spanish tango) is an improvisation dance, in which the ability of partners to feel each other is very important. This skill is born on a subconscious level as if by itself, creating a feeling of a different reality. And the most expressive moment of this dance is a pause: music sounds and the two froze in each other's arms as if conducting a silent dialogue in raised tones - this is a point of higher tension.

In 2009, according to the decision of UNESCO, tango, as a combination of music, dance, poetry, and distinctive traditions of the Rio de la Plata region, was included in the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

There are several versions of the origin of tango. The most common of them is that initially, a dance of this kind appeared in the port suburbs of Buenos Aires, where at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the cultural traditions of many countries of the world met and intertwined into one whole - the rhythms of the Cuban habanera, African Candombe, Argentine milonga, Spanish flamenco, and some other European dances brought in by foreign sailors. And although in Argentina it was the dance of the poor neighborhoods, the dance of immigrants, soon the lyrical and passionate tango sounded throughout the country.

The very word "tango" appeared much earlier than the dance itself. Originally this word was used in one of the Canary Islands to mean "a gathering of blacks for dancing, for playing drums", these drums were also called "tango".

But whatever tango you choose to celebrate this wonderful and passionate holiday, it should be full of emotions, as it should be for this fiery, temperamental, conflict and life-affirming dance.
