Footwork is different for both firms of Latin dancing. Tango is ballroom dance. It's graceful, subtle and the partners focus on each other. Music is generally slower than salsa.
Salsa, in contrast, is mostly fast-paced music and fast-paced dancing. It's showy, fun and dancers can put in their styles and show themselves off. There are also a lot of spins in salsa which are not there in Tango form of dancing. Salsa also has different types like Cuban, African, American. Dancing on one or dancing on 2.
