TANGO ARGENTINO
Tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between.

MILONGA
​Milonga is essentially a more lively type in Tango which has fast, strongly-accented beat, and an underlying "habanera" rhythm. Dancers avoid pausing, and often introduce syncopations and broken rhythm into their walks and turns. Milonga uses the same basic elements as Tango, with a strong emphasis on the rhythm, and figures that tend to be smaller steps, less complex than some of those danced in some varieties of Tango.
​
VALS
Vals is like a waltz. This produces a rather relaxed, smooth flowing dancing style in contrast to ballroom waltz where the dancers often turn almost constantly. Vals is characterized by its lack of pauses, and continual turns (giros) in both directions.
