….. Tango Canyengue is the purest essence of the beginning of Tango. Its Afro meaning is ‘walking with cadence’ and uses the original tango embrace.
It is a sensual and pleasant style of tango with a playful gait and rhythm. Its main characteristic is its musicality, as dancing canyengue precisely means walking in time at the right musical tempo. His movements are syncopated corresponding to 2 of 4-beat, played by orchestras such as Francisco Canaro, Julio DeCaro, Francisco Lomuto, Orquesta Tipica Victor, Tubatango and many others.
Canyengue’ body dissociation is used in the lead and focuses on walking with solid ground contact and with cadence, marking the rhythm with each step, changing weight in a way that is not seen ……
Canyengue is unstructured, free of choreographed sequences, but is danced with fast playful movements of the feet and flexible legs, agile steps linked to the rhythm. Canyengue was the precursor of the happy fast style of milonga. Tango canyengue encourages improvisation and enjoyment of the dance.
All this and more is… Tango Canyengue!…
