Tango: Heels Up - A Historic Moment in the World of Dance This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases an elegant and passionate moment in the history of the Tango dance. The Tango, originating in the late 19th century in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina, quickly spread to Europe and became a global sensation. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the early days of this iconic dance and the unique steps that made it so popular. The couple in the photograph, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, demonstrate the phrase "Heels Up," a signature move in Tango. The man lifts his partner's foot, bringing her heel high above her head, while she gracefully balances on one foot. This daring and dramatic step not only showcased the strength and agility of the partners but also highlighted the sensuality and intimacy inherent in the dance. The Tango's rich history is filled with stories of passion, rebellion, and self-expression. As the dance spread across the world, it underwent various transformations, adapting to different cultures and traditions. However, the essence of the Tango - the connection between partners, the rhythmic footwork, and the expressive movements - remained constant. This photograph, taken circa 1913, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Tango and the captivating moments it creates between partners on the dance floor. As we witness the man and woman defying gravity with their "Heels Up" step, we are transported back in time, to an era when the Tango reigned supreme as the most seductive and exhilarating dance in the world.
