> A group of milonga organizers in Buenos Aires have decided to organize a
> campeonato for salon dancers over 50 years of age.  It is obvious that
> dancers over 50 are the minority in the  Campeonato Metropolitano or
> Campeonato Mundial, where there are no age divisions and 80% of the dancers
> are under 30.  Judges select young exhibition dancers and stage
> professionals to win a competition where experienced salon dancers are
> overlooked.

> The First Championship of Salon Tango--Premio Milonguero Viejo will be held
> in November.  Registration is free.  There will be prizes.  This salon tango
> competition is only for dancers and milongueros in which one partner must be
> over 50 years.  No professionals are allowed.  Organized by the Asociacion
> de Milongas.

> And there's another competition going on this month until September 27 with
> no gender requirement in roles.  La Marshall (gay/open milonga in Plaza
> Bohemia) is holding the First Campeonato de baile de Tango in salon and
> electronic music. The prize is 500AP.  lamarshallmilonga at yahoo.com.ar
