The Argentine tango isn't here to play nicely with the other children. The Argentine tango is here to seduce your women, spill things on your rug, and sneak out your bedroom window in the middle of the night.

Mira Grant

I think those who say that you can't tango if you are not Argentine are mistaken. Tango was an immigrant music... so it does not have a nationality. It's only passport is feeling.

Carlos Gavito

I've always wanted to learn the Argentine tango.

Jodie Sweetin

I love ballroom dance, my favorite style being the Argentine Tango.

Shirley Ballas

I'm a bad walker but I can dance tango. You know why? Put your hand up. Push on my fingertips and just hold it. In tango, your feet are free but the top of your body pushes, so if I feel like I'm gonna fall, my partner can catch me. So I walk with a stick but I can totally dance the tango. It's a romantic kind of thing.

Melody Gardot

I tried to play Piazzolla's 'Grand Tango' at 20 and failed miserably. You need a little experience of life for tango.

Jan Vogler

I haven't tried my favorite dance - the Argentine tango - with Vernon yet. I'm sure there would be a lot of toe stamping going on!

Tess Daly

The Argentine tango is very special to me because it's full of sensuality. The chemistry between the man and woman is absolutely stunning.

Gilles Marini

I still can't believe that some pseudocritics continue to accuse me of having murdered tango. They have it backward. They should look at me as the saviour of tango. I performed plastic surgery on it.

Astor Piazzolla

Tango is about feeling and sensitivity, otherwise you are just doing gymnastics. You can do all the steps but it has to have the feeling and sensitivity of authentic tango.

Carlos Gavito

My baby she'll take a chance, my baby got a brand new dance, Wango Tango, Wango Tango.

Ted Nugent

Honestly, I don't really know the rules of tango!

Laurie Hernandez

It's really hard to be all serious in the tango and not break into laughter.

Laurie Hernandez

I really thought 'El Tango Roxanne' was perfect for Halloween night. It's creepy and intense.

Jenna Johnson

The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina.

Yo-Yo Ma

Jorge Luis Borges was lamenting a variety of Orientalism that was used to measure the alleged authenticity of Argentine and Latin American writers in the midcentury. The Argentine literary tradition was believed by many, including many Argentines, to be concerned with a national imaginary in which the gauchos and the pampas and the tango were fundamental tropes. Borges, in part to legitimize his own Europhilia, correctly pointed out that expecting writers to engage with these romantic nationalist tropes was arbitrary and limiting, a genre that was demonstrative of its own artificiality.
