Tango Web Links Argentine Tango sites of general interest (in English) All About Tango is, according to the website, "designed to be a complete on-line English language guide to the Argentine Tango." It's quite a good site which offers a brief historical overview, and there's a fair amount on tango music, although given the title and the claims to comprehensiveness, there's less than you might expect on the dance and its practice. Tango history is a brief overview with some interesting modern info.
Argentine Tango Dance Etiquette,
whose purpose is self-explanatory, is a very useful site for
beginners, especially as they first take to a crowded dance floor,
and good as a reminder even for experienced dancers. With
permission, we have reproduced the text of this site as printed
material which we distribute at our beginners' lessons. Beginner's Guide to Argentine Tango gives a fairly detailed overview of the basics. Useful for those just starting who don't want to wade through too much detail. Tango Corazon: How to Dance the Argentine Tango offers the same kind of thing: general advice for beginners. ToTango is claimed to be "The Web's Largest Tango Argentino Site in English", and who can doubt it? It's crammed full of full of Argentine Tango goodies of all varieties. Worth repeated visits.

"Technical clumsiness is forgivable; emotional sloppiness is not, because emotion—strong, intense, focused emotion—is what the tango is all about." (Alma Guillermoprieto in a National Geographic Magazine feature on the tango)
