Lindsay Lohan is taking Tango lessons.

The 21-year-old actress - who recently completed 45 days in rehab for alcoholism - is to star in new movie 'Dare to Love Me' about Tango legend Carlos Gardel and needs to learn the sexy Latin dance.

A source told People magazine: "We don't know what Lindsay's exact role will be but she took a Tango lesson for an hour on Friday (20.07.07) and will be doing them every day from now on.

"She kept the alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet on the whole time."

Dancer Gardel had a romance with a prostitute but they were both involved in a shooting which killed her and left him crippled with a bullet fragment in his lung for life.

The movie is set in Buenos Aires in the 1920s and Italian actor Raoul Bova will play Gardel.

Lindsay previously took pole-dancing lessons for her role as a topless dancer in new movie ' I Know Who Killed Me'.

She admitted the gruelling sexy regime left her battered and bruised.

Lindsay said: "Three hours of pole-dancing and bruises everywhere. We're talking upper and inner thigh bruises - I didn't know it was actually possible to have bruises in such areas of the body!

"Strippers dude, I tell you, I really respect the ****s now. I'm not gonna lie to you!"
