Judges-TBA
This is a community event which is held every year to inspire dancers to be their best on the dance floor!
Rules-TANGO for the Salon
Once formed, the couple must not separate while the music is playing. This means that they will not be break the embrace, which is considered the basic dance position in tango. For the position to be considered correct, the body of one of the members of the couple must be contained all the time by the arm of the other. It is understood that in certain figures, this may be flexible, but not throughout the duration of the dance.
All movements must be made within the space allowed by the couple’s embrace.
The Judges will take into account the couple’s musicality and walking style as fundamental to the score.
Within these parameters, the couple may perform any commonly used figures, including barridas (sweeps), sacadas al piso (drawn to the floor), enrosques (twists), etc.
All other figures typical of Stage Tango such as ganchos (hooks), saltos (jumps) and trepadas (climbs) Leg Wraps, High Boleos are completely forbidden.
Couples must constantly move counterclockwise and may not stay in the same part of the dancing space as this would obstruct the circulation on the dance floor. Neither member of the couple may lift his or her legs above the knees.
