/PanARMENIAN. Net/ Month of Tango will kick off in Yerevan on June 5,
with kind assistance of Armenian Embassy in Argentina. Argentine tango
will reign in Armenian National Art Gallery from June 5 to 28. 16
films will be screened every weekend. The Month will start with a
dancing program in The Club. Argentine tango is a social dance and a
musical genre that originated in Argentina and moved to Uruguay and
to the rest of the world later on. In the US, it is commonly confused
with ballroom tango, though this is a later derivation.

Argentine tango consists of a variety of styles that developed in
different regions and eras, and in response to the crowding of the
venue and even the fashions in clothing. Even though the present
forms developed in Argentina and Uruguay, they were also exposed to
influences reimported from Europe and North America.
