How high society saved tango
The evolution of tango, tracing its path from a marginal dance of the slums to a global phenomenon and a cornerstone of Argentine identity. The narrative explores how its success in European capitals, driven by Parisian fashion, allowed the genre to overcome the prejudices of the local aristocracy and transform into an institutionalized cultural product. The transition to tango-canción and the birth of cabaret, places that favored the professionalization of legendary musicians like Carlos Gardel, are emphasized. The impact of the economic crisis of the 1930s and the subsequent industrial resurgence of the 1940s, when the dance became a mass expression linked to Peronism, are also examined. Finally, the crucial role of cinema and radio in mythologizing the periphery and solidifying the tango aesthetic in the global collective imagination, is highlighted.

Why men taught each other Tango
The essential rules of conduct for proper participation in a milonga, distinguishing between general duties and the specific responsibilities of those leading or following the dance. Great importance is given to mutual respect, hygiene, and the efficient management of the dance floor to ensure the safety of all dancers.

Cerebral Synchrony: Neuroscience in Tango
A neuroscience experiment called "NeuroTango", analyzed brain synchronization between partners during dance. Using EEG devices, the study monitored how the dancers' brainwaves tended to align, thanks to the deep physical and mental connection required by Argentine tango. The results indicate that shared movement in space generates superior neural attunement compared to simply mentally imagining the steps or passively listening to the music.
