Like the music, the dance of tango was born from prostitutes these street- corners gatherings and in brothels` salons.It orginated as a dance of the underworld- a way for local pimps to showcase their girls and to entice customers.The close offten breathless, embrace, the concentration of movement from the waist down,the sensual intertwining and scissor-like flicking of the legs.were all symbolic of the skill and pleasure the prostitute had to offer,if you were the lucky man.
First and foremost, tango was a sexual choreography--what would later be politely referred to by some as 'the veritcal expression of a horizontal desire"
