Pilates exercises combined with Tango lessons is a new wave to exercise. It started in Buenos Aires (the birthplace of Tango), and is now growing in the United States and Europe. The system is called Tangolates.
Tangolates and Pilates have common roots in human movement and expression. One, Tango, older and established, the other, Pilates, more recently acquired by the general public. They share certain basic concepts. Yet, they are two very different manifestations of human movement.
Both are systems of excises but the differences are obvious: one is performed with music, the other one is silent. One is performed by two people (it takes two to Tango), while the other is performed singly or individually. One, Tangolates, is concentrated plus aerobic workout; the other, Pilates, isconcentrated but not very aerobic. One saw its origins at the port of Buenos Aires; the other, Pilates, had its origins almost a century later, with wounded soldiers during the first world war. More about Tangolates: It is performed on a special apparatus called the T-DiTella, while the other, Pilates, is performed on an entirely different machine called The Reformer.
Tangolates develops core abdominal strength, keeps the skeleton supported and the spine protected, lets the movement flow and focuses on the energy that comes first from the core (and then flows outward).
