男人的身体一般比女人高大，沉重，强壮，敦实，可以依靠，因此男人在探戈中承担具有以下功能的男性角色：
一，带领女人。为要舞蹈得象一个人一样，两人的动作必须完全一致。为了做到这一点，只有一个人必须带领，而另一个人必须跟随。在探戈中，是男人带领女人。他不是用强力迫使女人，而是通过胸部的信号让她知道该如何移动。女人在男人的怀抱里可以感觉到他的意图。他然后根据她的反应作出相应的反应，来完成该步的带领。
二，支持女人。男人必须成为女人的靠山。虽然女人有责任保持自身的平衡，在实际舞蹈中她常常依靠他来保持平衡，特别如果她是个经验不足的舞者。男人一定要成为她的支柱，象冰箱一样稳固可靠。如果他不稳固可靠，就会动摇她的信任和信心。
三，让她踩在节拍上。男人必须带领女人按音乐跳舞。他的乐感是带领的最重要的元素。他不能专注于想要带领的步伐而忘记听音乐，也不能只顾自己的计时而忘了她的计时。相反，他必须专注于让她的舞步与音乐吻合，因为他是为她跳舞。
四，使她熠熠生辉。一个绅士得让女人闪耀。他带领她跳舞以显示她的美丽并将她的女人味充分展现出来。他让她，而不是自己，成为众目仰望的中心。他不自我炫耀，而使她黯然失色。
五，保护她。男人一定要非常保护女人。他必须防止她被人撞到，踩到，或踢到。他必须恪守交规，遵行舞线，与他人保持距离，必要时停止前进，而不撞到别人身上。他不能带她跳可能会伤害她或他人的舞步。
六，对她温柔体贴。对女人野蛮粗鲁是不够男子气的。一位绅士用尊重，欣赏和体贴的态度对待女人。他小心翼翼，很有耐心地带领，保护她，让她在他的怀抱得到宠爱，能尽情享受与他跳舞的快乐。
女人的身体一般比男人娇小，轻盈，柔软，柔韧，柔美，因此女人在探戈中承担具有以下功能的女性角色：
一，完全委身。女人必须把自己完全交给男人，放弃她的自我，融化在他的怀抱里，服从他，与他同步移动。她用自己的委身打消他的疑虑，准许他来带领她。正如当婴儿一出生年轻父母一下子变成了大人一样，她用她的委身使他成为一个男子汉。
二，顺从他的带领。她必须冷静从容，等待他的信号告诉她如何行动，并一步一步地跟着信号跳。她不能擅自行动，干扰他的带领，或率先起步。然而，在顺服的同时，她又必须是舞蹈中积极主动的一员。跟随不是被拖着走，而是一种主动敏感的反应，需要急智，机敏和创造性
。
三，保持自身的轻盈敏捷。她必须让自己变得轻巧，易于带领。她不能把重量都压在他身上，让他感到沉重。她必须保持自身的平衡，而不是拽着他或挂在他身上，靠他来保持平衡。她必须对他的带领非常敏感，时刻准备作出反应，并且行动敏捷。
四，踩在节拍上。一个好的跟舞者是靠直觉跟随，所以她可以专心听音乐，而不用把注意力集中在带领上。男人尽他的力量带领她按音乐跳舞，但他只能对节拍进行估计。既然是估计，就不可能总是百分之百准确。女人一定要听音乐，并承担起按节拍调整自己舞步的责任。

五，做他的补充。作为他的舞伴，她必须帮助他，发挥他的长处，弥补他的短处。她以自己的激情和女人味来激发他。她舞蹈得轻盈灵巧而富有感染力。当他失去平衡时，她支持他。当他计时不准时，她保持着节拍。如果他跳得太快，她让他慢下来。如果他要撞到别人，她预告他。
六，美化舞蹈。女人是天生的美容师和装饰师。美是她的特长。男人是领舞者，然而是女人用她的华步和点缀使舞蹈生辉。但是，一个好的跟舞者不会在装饰舞步时干扰男人的带领。相反，她在做装饰时完全与领舞者保持一致。
七，做一个女人。女人不能在跳舞时象一个机器人，而必须象一个女人。她必须让男人感觉很舒服。她必须刻意展示她女性的温柔，柔韧，柔美和魅力。她明白，她的女人特征，女人味和女性的温柔是男人之所以喜欢跟她而不是跟一个男人跳舞的原因。通过做一个女人，她可以引出他最好的品质，从而得到充分的回报。
The Gender Roles in Tango (II)
The man is physically bigger, heavier, stronger, firmer, and more reliable. He plays the masculine role in tango. The following are the functions of his role:
1. Leading the woman. For the couple to dance in unison, the movements of the two must agree. For this to happen, only one person must lead, and the other must follow. In tango, the man leads the woman. He does this not by force, but by showing an intention of how he wants her to move, with a signal from his torso that she in his embrace can feel. He then follows her reaction and matches her step to complete the lead.
2. Supporting the woman. The man must be supportive to the woman. Although the woman is responsible for keeping her own balance, in reality she often needs his help, especially if she is a less experienced dancer. The man must be a pillar for her and as stable as a refrigerator. Any unsteadiness and unbalance on his part will shake her trust and confidence.
3. Timing her steps to the music. The man must lead the woman dance to the music. His musicality is the most important element of good leading. He must not stick in the steps he wants to lead and forget about the music. He must not just pay attention to his own timing and forget about hers. Instead, he must focus on timing her steps to the music, because he dances for her.
4. Shining her. A gentleman lets the woman shine. He leads her dance in such a way that displays her beauty and gives full play to her femininity. He makes her, rather than himself, the center of attention. He does not show off over her for self-glorification.
5. Protecting her. The man must be very protective to the woman. He must prevent her from being bumped, stepped or kicked by others. He must obey the traffic law, respect the line of dance, keep a distance from others, stop if necessary, and not run into people. And he must not lead steps that may hurt her or others.
6. Being gentle to her. It is not manly to be rude and pushy to the woman. A gentleman treats the woman with respect, appreciation, and gentleness. He leads her carefully, patiently, tenderly and protectively. He makes her feel pampered in his embrace, and let her fully enjoy dancing with him.
The woman is physically smaller, lighter, softer, more
flexible and beautiful. She plays the feminine role in tango. The following are
the functions of her role:
1. Complete surrender. The woman must surrender herself to the man. She must let go her ego, melt in his embrace, be obedient, and move in unison with him. By her surrender she dispels his misgivings and gives him permission to be her leader. Just like when a baby is born the parents become grownups, she makes him a man by being a woman.
2. Following the lead. She must be calm and unhurried, wait for his signal to tell her how to move, and follow the lead one step at a time. She must not act on her own, interfere with the lead, or initiate the step. However, while being obedient, she must also remain an active part of the dance. Following is not passively responding. It is a dynamic action that takes wits, ingenuity and creativeness.
3. Being light. She must make herself light and easy for him to lead. She must not put too much weight on the man and cause heaviness to him. She must keep her own balance and not grab or hang on him for support. She must be sensitive to the lead and ready to respond at all time. And, she must move dexterously.
4. Keeping her beat. A good follower follows by intuition so she can concentrate on the music rather than the lead. The man does his part to lead her dance to the music, but he can only do so by estimating the beat. The problem of estimating is that he can't be one hundred percent accurate at all time. The woman must listen to the music and be responsible for micro-adjusting her steps to the beat.
5. Complementing the man. As his partner, she must help him, bring out his strengths, and make up his weaknesses. She excites him with her passion and femininity, and dances in such a way that is light and inspiring. She supports him when he loses balance, keeps the beat when he is off time, slows him down if he rushes, and warns him when he is to bump into others.
6. Beautifying the dance. A woman is a natural beautician and decorator. Beauty is her specialty. The man leads the dance, but it is the woman who shines the dance with her beautiful footwork and adornments. A good follower, however, embellishes her footwork in such a way that does not interfere with the lead. Rather, she remains in complete unison with the leader while doing the embellishments.
7. Being feminine. The woman must not dance as a mechanical follower, but as a woman. She must make the man feel comfortable. She must willfully display her female softness, flexibility, grace and seductiveness. She understands that her womanhood, femininity and gentle softness are the reason why he enjoys dancing with her rather than with a man. By being a woman, she can bring out the best in him and be rewarded fully in return.
