Tango Salon does not refer to a single specific technique of dancing tango. quite, it is literally tango as it is danced socially in the salons (dance halls) of Buenos Aires. Salon tango was danced throughout the Golden Era of Argentine Tango (1935 -1952) when milongas (tango parties) were held in large dance venues and full tango orchestras done. Salon tango is often characterized by slow, measured, and smoothly executed moves, never moving versus the line-of-dance, and respecting the space of other dancers on the floor around them. The emphasis is on precision, smoothness, musicality, good navigation, and following the códigos (tango etiquette) of the salons. The couple embraces closely, with some variants having a flexible cling, opening slightly to make area for various figures and closing Again for support and poise. The walk is the most major element, and dancers usually walk 60%-70% of the time during a tango song.
When tango became popular twice after the end of the Argentine military dictatorships in 1983, this approach was resurrected by dancers from the Golden Era:
* El Turco Jose Brahemcha
* Gerardo Portalea (deceased)
* Luis "Milonguita" Lemos (deceased)
* "Finito" Ramón Rivera (deceased)
* "Lampazo" Jose Vazquez (deceased)
* Virulazo (deceased)
* Miguel Balmaceda (deceased)
* In the milongas at Club Sin Rumbo, Sunderland, El Pial and Canning
