[Tango-L] Tango Salon championship

[Sergio Vandekier]

In the finals of Tango Salon ( Social Tango), the couples are judged on the basis of : continuous embrace, circulation on the dancing floor,  dancing low on the floor, cadence and beat; 54 couples were selected in the semifinals yesterday.  For this occasion the two couples that won the Metropolitan Championship in last June also danced.

Below you will see how social tango is danced in Buenos Aires, provided there is enough room to dance.  Notice a "V" embrace, long steps, stepping toes first, erect position and elegance.

Some videos of the Metropolitan competition last June along with the winner last night Daniel Nacucchhio and Cristina Sosa.
