The World Dance Council (WDC), which is responsible for the World
 Ballroom and Latin Championships, will be holding their 2007 World
 Po-Am Championship in Buenos Aires in February 2007. The
 competition, and associated events, will be held in the Sheraton
 and Park Tower Hotel. Can anyone is BsAs say whether this event is
 being publicised and whether there’s any connection with the Tango
 community. I know that Adrian Veredice and Alejandra Hobart will be
 performing, as will some of the top professional Latin couples from
 around the world.

 On previous visits to BsAs, it seemed that Ballroom and Latin dance
 styles were virtually unknown to the tango community. I dance
 demonstration Waltz and Foxtrot in a couple of private milongas and
 even gave a Rumba performance in Club Sin Rumbo. Everybody always 
 loved it. Of course, I never dared show them what Ballroom Tango
 looks like :-).

 I haven’t been back for 3-years but has Ballroom and Latin dancing
 taken hold in BsAs? The WDC is a very powerful and wealthy
 organisation, which efficiently promotes Ballroom and Latin dancing
 around the world, including providing scholarships to aspiring and
 talented dancers. The holding of such a major event in BsAs
 indicates that they intend to make inroads in Argentina.
