The tango was originally a practice that consisted of meeting and dancing, it was started by the slaves but later the workers of the ports of Buenos Aires continued it, who added the European instrumentation and thus the musical tango was born. The practice was only between men since there were no female workers. As there were no women, as always happens, men began to have sex with each other, then the characteristic dance that we know today was formalized, it was a way of fraternizing and also of finding a sexual partner and a way to just pass the time with each other. The church was scandalized, they tried to ban tango but it soon began to be practiced clandestinely. In the midst of this persecution by the church, many brothels were installed in the ports so that men would not resort to having sexual relations with each other (a fairly normal strategy used by Europeans) but far from ending the practices, tango began to dance with the prostitutes and it became much more popular, now not only the workers practiced the tango, but also citizens of the surroundings who resorted to these brothels for the show and for the sex. The scandal reached the Vatican and also aroused interest in European society, gaining more popularity. This popularity that tango gained ended up molding it as we know it today, it went from brothels and ports to dance halls throughout Buenos Aires and the essence of its beginnings was maintained, such as the clothing of women (who were prostitutes and for this reason they dressed so provocative for the standards of that time) and the passionate and sensual dance but the dance technique and the musical composition of tango improved a lot since then.

Я не то подумал.

Tango was actually originally invented by gay men for gay men in times when they were ostracised

No need to spread misinformation THE DANCE WHICH IS NOW CALLED “TANGO” WAS A COMPETITION DANCE BETWEEN CUSTOMERS FOR HIGHER POSITION IN THE QUEUE TO SEE PROSTITUTE. SO ENJOY THE TRUTH

Interesting.

I want to know your response.....I wish to read super long review about this dance

Bravo!!!! 🇦🇷👏👏

there is no such thing as a feminine or masculine role, both men and women can carry the other.

@@AraneaTempestatibus That’s true, there’s no absolute role. I just mean that in dancing there are obvious traditional roles and styles that men and women generally have.

My thoughts exactly! Untraditionnal and beautifully so

Late to the party but the original Tango actually involved two men, the choreography moves are all configured to look like a fight or duel between two guys as you can see.

During the building boom in Argentina, when many extra workers were imported, there were so many men for the few women available, that they would practice dancing with each other to impress the women

Танго изначально и было танцем двух мужчин. Танец-поединок.

Не знала, думала, что это всегда был танец мужчины и женщины.

Only men were supposed to dance tango it was sometime later that women joined

¿Masculinos? Jajaja

@@wsge2446 да, и что с того? Мужнины тоже могут быть элегатными даже танцуя друг с другом, в этом нет ничего неправильного, тем более смешного. Мне понравилось. Очень красиво получилось

@@wsge2446 si no vez lo sensuales que son ? No mires lo sexual ademas el tango es entre hombres en la mujer queda estéticamente mal.

Bello el baile... Y da igual que sean rudos o no... El arte es hermoso

@@user-ke3hj8wd9r indeed.... Their dance is so beautiful 😍😍😍

Я думала , что я одна такая , типа , всё поперёк.......

@@elenadarocha6848 ну в балете парни тоже много друг с другом танцуют в некоторых сценах, так что ж теперь. Главное спину не убить, а то от этого видео она прямо заболела у меня)))

Muy originales y una muy bonita demostración se merecen un 10

Una demostración con mucho respeto

¿Es eso ruso?

@@tadrips si, es ruso

@Алла 11 у вас больная фантазия, здесь нет ни намёка

@Алла 11 Глупая. При чем тут геи? Танго изначально был мужским парным танцем, танцем-поединком.

@Таня11 почитайте историю Аргентинского танго!!!иногда вообще полезно побольше читать, пользуясь разными источниками информации ✌️✊👍где вы тут увидели пошлость?!? 🤷‍♀️ это танец - поединок, танец - борьба!!!

Masculino? Diria dos gays...

​@@jomael3 un hombre puede ser gay y masculino, aweonao

@@jomael3 en sus inicios el tango se bailaba entre hombres como una forma de conqusitar a la mujer. No es gay, es el tango en su forma más pura.

It's gay

@@tonytuntun1984 no it's not

In its beginnings, tango was danced between men, it was a way of conquering women. It was not considered effeminate or gay, it was a "manly" dance since it originated in the poor areas of Argentina. It is not empowering, it is tango in its purest form

@@browniepiew5094 I meant powerful not empowering. And I did not connect it with homosexuality and gay rights. My english was not so great.

@@kokkinikautichilipipperia9242 mine neither, haha. sorry for not understanding your comment

Don't forget to ask yourself: "fight for what?"

Uruguay quedé

Uruguay AND ARGENTINA. The tango is RIOPLATENSE.

Простите, но где Вы узрели чувственность? И при чём здесь "сегодня"?)) Танго изначально парный мужской танец. Это Танец-борьба, при чём именно за внимание женщины. И здесь же это видно, помилуйте. Явное соперничество, демонстрация мастерства, столкновение. Где здесь чувственность между партнёрами?)) История танца очень интересна. Имеет смысл ознакомиться, чтобы действительно понимать происходящее.

PEDRO SOTTERO de hecho sí lo es, el hecho de que sientas necesidad de mencionarlo demuestra que el prejuicio sigue ahí presente.

La verdad fue un poco incomodo

@@diegojavier8276 para la gente mensa, el arte no es incómodo

@@diegojavier8276 éste es el verdadero tango amigo y no tiene nada que ver con la homosexualidad, esto es arte

@@kevinmuniz785 pero sale extraño

Actually, Tango was originally danced by two men. So basically, this is a Tango in it's "original form"
