It is the pure essence of the beginning of tango. Its afro meaning “walking with cadence”. It contains the original tango embrace. It is sensual and enjoyable style of tango with playful gait and rhythm. Its main characteristic is its musicality, as dancing canyengue precisely means to be in time, walking in the right musical tempo. Its movements are syncopated corresponding to 2 by 4 measure, played by orchestras such as Francisco Canaro, Felipe Antonio, La Tipica Victor, De Caro,Tubatango. Canyengue uses body dissociation for the leading, walking with a firm ground contact and a permanent combination of on and off beat rhythm, All these elements are essential to dance any good Tango!
