Daily Bruin | Students connect with others through the tradition of tango

Ortiz-Marquez said the Argentine tango she dances is reminiscent of the
origins of the style, before the upper classes of Buenos Aires began
adapting it for themselves.

“Most people think that tango is what you see on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’”
Ortiz-Marquez said. “People look at it as something super high-class or
pretentious, but it came right out of the slums. … It’s a way of connecting
with different human beings.”
