Tango can be danced in a variety of styles and accompanied by different types of music. These styles vary in tempo and fundamental movements. There are three major types of tango rythms: Milonga, 1,2; Vals (Tango Waltz) 1,2,3; and Tango, 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4.

Milonguero-style tango is typically danced with a slightly leaning posture that typically joins at the shoulders of the dancers. In most cases the style is danced in a close embrace. Usually the woman's head and body is so close to her partner that her left hand is placed far behind her partner's neck. The couple maintains a constant upper body contact and often doesn't loosen their embrace to accommodate turns.

Also known as "tango de salon," salon-style tango is typically danced with an upright body posture with the two dancers maintaining separate axes. The embrace can be close or open, but it is typically offset (with each dancer's center slightly to the right of their partner's center) and in a V (with the woman's left shoulder closer to the man’s right shoulder than her right shoulder is to his left shoulder). When salon-style is danced in a close embrace, which is common in Buenos Aires, the couple typically loosens their embrace slightly to accomodate the turns and allow the woman to rotate more freely. Salon-style tango requires that dancers exercise respect for the line of dance.
