2. Born in the working class dance halls of Buenos Aires and Montevideo at the start of the 20th century, the sensual cheek-to-cheek stride of a tango dancer, rose clenched between the teeth, has become a global byword for Latin culture.

The kind danced in milongas, or tango dance halls, is more waltzlike, but equally sensual. __
