How to dance tango? Please instruct me how to learn tango dance by myself.?
I love tango dance very much.
Learning any dance that normally involves two people by yourself is never easy. You should also note that there really is no substitute for practice with someone who knows what they are doing. Having said that you could try following the instructions as laid out in the site below. Best of luck with this

oh and just to let you know im a beginner, and a female. if that matters
thank you so much!
For Ballroom tango:
Standard ballroom hold. Up-and-back, head slightly tilted back. "T-A-N.G.O-" is the basic step. Slow-slow-quick-quick-slow. Follower steps back with right foot/lead steps forward with left; follower back left/lead forward right; do the same two steps (quickly this time); follow steps left and collects but does not switch weight/lead steps right and collects without switching weight. Assuming you followed all that, the pattern can be repeated again! You can also do a promenade, for which ballroom tango is famous; stick your "free arm" (follower’s right, leader’s left) straight out to the side, turn to face the side, do the same rhythm of step out to that side.
The music is very marching, and the beat is "ratatat tap tap tap". "Hernando’s Hideaway" is an example of this.
For Argentine tango:
The most important piece is form. Step with your weight relatively even, and your feet together. Move your weight forward on your feet so you’re balancing on the balls of your feet (heels will do this automatically, put the weight in the right place). Bend your knees such that they’re over the balls of your feet. Put your hips over your feet, your shoulders over your hips, and your head over your shoulders, and you should be all lined up. It’d be akin to stepping next to a wall, and touching your belly button to it.
Then when you take a step, slide your foot along the floor. It doesn’t necessarily scrape the floor, but you aren’t stepping up-and-over, you’re gliding to the next place.
This is especially important for stepping backwards (which the follower does lots), you slide your leg out behind you, and straighten the knee as you extend. When you take the step, you take the weight onto that foot and come back over it.
I’m assuming you will have a partner for the project. It’s possible to make a good dance out of really basic movements: side-to-side, forward, backward, shifting weight, and quick steps. For a little bit of excitement, you can throw in ochos and boleos.
Ocho: Follower steps backward at an angle, across her axis / leader switches weight and steps forward with matching foot (so follower is stepping backward with left foot at an angle, and leader is moving forward at left foot at an angle, or right-to-right). Follower then pivots on the foot onto which she steps, makes an angle the opposite direction, and steps backwards across axis again / leader pivots follower, and steps forward at an angle. Repeat as desired, both stop, leader shifts weight so they’re on matching feet again, go back to basic steps.
Boleo: Follower stops / leader stops; follower pivots / leader pivots follwer; follower makes a small "kick" wrapping around her standing leg / leader suddenly switches the direction of the pivot. The sharper the windup-and-reverse, the bigger the energy. It’s easy to do a boleo out of ochos, or switching from back boleo to front boleo or vice versa. Repeat as desired, come back to neutral, continue with basic steps.

I saw a movie once where a girl stated "You can’t tango when you are drunk". Is that true?
I mean is there specificity to tango that the brain can’t process when drunk? I seem to have no problem with a whole lot of other dances, but unfortunately don’t know the tango to test this out myself.
There is a list somewhere, I’m sure of it. Things NOT to do when drunk:
1) Drive;
2) Propose marriage; or
3) Ballroom dance.
