Look, we’ve been in your shoes: we know that tango music can be challenging at first.
If you feel that it is too complicated for you, and that you aren't ready to dive into tango music yet, it is completely normal!

Your dancing will be clearer, for yourself and your partner. And, whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, you will be more creative in your dancing.
Let's dive in!
Rhythmic vs. Melodic element #1: The orchestras
Ah, the tango orchestras... we love them! Their music is sophisticated, precise, subtle and full of personality.
Each of them gives us a different, unique way to listen to tango music.
And, if they each have their own personality... they tend to fall into 2 broad categories: the melodic and the rhythmic orchestras.
As a dancer, the type of orchestra you dance to give you an important key in terms of the what and the how of your dancing.
In this video lesson:
- We show you the difference between a melodic and a rhythmic orchestra
- We show you how your dancing is different, depending on the type of orchestra you are dancing to.

Rhythmic vs. Melodic element #2: The phrasing in the music
Another key element where the rhythmic vs. melodic concept shows up in tango music is : the musical phrases.
To put it even more simply: there are parts in any tango songs that are mostly rhythmic, while others are mostly melodic.
As a dancer, you can not dance those parts in the same way!
You want to educate your ears so that you clearly hear the different parts of the music, and recognize if they are melodic or rhythmic.
This, in turn, will give you clarity about that what and the how of your dancing.
In this video lesson:
- We make you listen and visualize the rhythmic and the melodic parts of the music
- We should you how to bring clarity to your dancing by dancing to the phrasing of the music

The most common tango movements can actually be expressed in thousands of different ways.
They are the core elements of creativity in the dance.
In this video lesson:
- We show you how to express one of the most common tango movements (the cross) in different ways depending on the music
- We tell you what to think about on the dancefloor, depending on whether the music is more melodic or more rhythmic.
