At the beginning of the twentieth century in England some social dances derived from local, national or traditional folk dances, largely from the South American region, were converted into standardized sports dances. The tango as one of those dances went through a process of standardization to become different (tango). Nomination for "The Tango Rioplatense" (of the Argentinian and Uruguayan Rio de la Plata area) was jointly put forward by Uruguay and Argentina. In 2009 "The Tango" was added to the Representative List of World Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Doing research about social dances in dance schools in Zagreb, I noticed very diverse performances of tango. How is tango danced in communities far from Rio de la Plata?
