From the backstreets of Buenos Aires to Parisian high society, this is the extraordinary story of the dance that captivated the world...
 
In The Meaning of Tango, Christine Denniston takes us on a journey of politics and passion, immigration and romance.
 
The Tango was the cornerstone of Argentine culture, and has lasted for more than a hundred years, popular today in America, Japan and Europe. 
 
The Meaning of Tango traces the roots of this captivating dance, from its birth in poverty-stricken Buenos Aires, the craze of the early twentieth century, right up until its revival today, thanks to shows such as Strictly Come Dancing.  
 
It is an elegant and cohesive critique of the fascinating tale of the Tango, which not only documents its culture and politics, but is also a fantastic guide to the techniques, perfect for both beginners and experienced dancers.
 
The Meaning of Tango: The Story of the Argentinian Dance, is out in paperback Thursday 11th September 👠
