Nuevo Tango is both a form of music incorporated into traditional Argentine Tango and the evolution of the classical tango dance. Twenty years ago, the Tango Investigation Group, founded by Gustavo Naveira and Fabian Salas, applied the principles of dance kinesiology to the physics of movement in Argentine tango. From its inception, the Nuevo Tango movement has provoked a shift in tango dance interpretation.
Nuevo Tango includes moves from classical Argentine Tango reinterpreted and danced to new tango music selections. It is not only different in its approach to the tango embrace used in classical Argentine Tango to define tango dance styles, but also in its off-axis moves, playfulness, and attention to rhythm and melody in the tango dance and music.
Another important evolution from classical Argentine Tango within the Nuevo Tango movement is a greater emphasis placed upon improvisational tango skill of the woman’s tango dance interpretation. Some Nuevo Tango dancers explore incorporation of elements of other than tango dance forms such as salsa, ballroom, and swing and turn them into Nuevo Tango moves. This further enriches Nuevo Tango’s expressive possibilities within the evolution of tango dance artistry.
This is part of what Victor teaches in the Wednesday evening Latin Dance Class.

Studies show that dancing is not only good for your physical health when you move your body; it also has an impact on your emotional center and generally enhances your mood and mental wellbeing.
Specifically there are three elements to dancing that will improve your mind and body health: it’s social — you meet people; it’s physical — you are getting exercise; it’s cognitive — you have to remember the steps. When you engage in things that are social, physical and cognitive you will improve your brain!
In addition to this health benefit dancing is fun and makes you feel great! So come out to the Gagliardi Studio & Gallery or book your own event. Move your body, improve your mind and dance away your worries! Our dance parties and classes promise to give you a mood boost, increase your vigor and make you happy.
