Here are a few things that I have found helped my tango:
1. A musical background--I sang in a school choir for a few years in a past life (and a love for tango music)
2. Ballet/modern/jazz
3. Contact improv
4. Gyrokinesis
5. Yoga
5. Plain working out at the gym
I'm sure any sort of body awareness exercise can help with balance and coordination. Here are some other good ones that I haven't really spent enough time on myself but may help your overall tango (I have probably heard about this from lots of other people).
-Pilates
-Barre Class
-Any form of martial arts that allows you to be grounded
-Any dance form that allows you to be comfortable with moving your body
Of course, you don't need ANY of this. You can just practice technique on your own, but I've found some differences in my tango as I increased my strength. Modern, ballet, and gyrokinesis are probably my top recommendations.
