Abstract

Through a consultation of the literature written by the most important authors in argentine tango history and theory and through the testimonials of some renowned tango dancers and teachers of today, argentine tango is being examined from a technical and executive point of view with the goal to give an explanation to the questions that arise around its authentic aesthetical image and during its concrete realization on the dance floor. After a careful presentation of the rules that determine tango and the frame where the momentary creative expression takes place, a specific attention is dedicated to the notions of corte and quebrada. These elements are considered of fundamental importance in the choreographic construction that is being created by improvisation and in the definition of the argentine tango aesthetical and technical identity.
