Tango de Salon (style)

An elegant and very social style of tango characterized by slow, measured, and smoothly executed moves. It includes all of the basic tango steps and figures plus sacadas, giros, and boleos. The emphasis is on precision, smoothness, and elegant dance lines. The dancing couple do not embrace as closely as in older styles and the embrace is flexible, opening slightly to make room for various figures and closing again for support and poise.

Pugliese, Calo and Di Sarli are typical of the smoother and more elegant Salon style. ([1] (http://tangohk.com/Articles.htm))
