Fashionable and creative is the best way to describe Argentine tango. This tango dance transformed greatly over the years and changes were noticed in the dressing sense and dance moves. This dance evolved in Argentina and Uruguay, mainly in the Rio de la Plata region. It was exposed to influences of North America and Europe. Improvisation is what this dance relies greatly on, that is why there are no basic steps in this dance form. Most of the dance moves are created on the dance floor by the dance instructors. According to the stage of learning, dance steps are broken down for the learners.
