Etymology
The term 'tangoing' is derived from the word 'tango,' which has its roots in African and European cultures. The tango music and dance style developed in the late 1800s in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Initially, tango was performed by immigrants and African slaves who blended their musical traditions with European styles. As it evolved, tango became a popular social dance and eventually gained international recognition. The word 'tango' itself likely comes from a West African term 'tangó,' which referred to a drum, along with the Spanish verb 'tangar,' meaning 'to touch.' Dancers and musicians then began using 'tango' to describe the particular dance and music that emerged from this cultural fusion.
