Registered couples will participate in the following categories: “Dance-Floor Tango” (Adult and Senior), “Milonga” and “Milonga Dancers of the World”. The couples selected, in an approximate ratio of 1 per 5, will advance to the following stage—the semifinals. According to the rules “the Jury will take into account the couple’s embrace, musicality, walking style, circulation on the dance floor, gracefulness, personality, and especially the rhythm in milonga and vals dancing as fundamental to the final score.” Enough said, let the music start and let’s dance!
