Tango originated in the barrios of Buenos Aries, Argentina in the late 1900s. It was a copy of society dance. They copied other dances and invented their own way of moving. Back then, Buenos Aries was heavily over populated with men, and so, to impress the few women who were available, the men would practice tango with each other to improve their skill and subsequently attract the women.
Many Germans who escaped Germany during the war years picked up Argentine Tango and later took it back to Germany. There, the Germans needed more structure to the tango and stiffened it up, creating International Tango that you see at ballroom competitions. But, the true origins of tango go back to the brothels of Buenos Aries...

Purely ARGENTINIAN. And there is many theories that it had originated in argentina with a mix of African Rythyms due to slavery.
