Why Argentine Tango Is So Addictive

Another reason is improvisation. In Argentine Tango there is no fixed choreography in social dancing. Each step is created in the moment.

Because of this, every dance is unique. Even if two people dance together many times, the experience is always different.

This constant discovery is one of the reasons why tango dancers continue dancing for many years.
