Competition Stages

Competition Stages

The competition, in both categories, can be developed in 3 (three) stages, according to the schedule established by the Organization: a) Qualifying Round, b) Semifinal, c) Final.
a) Qualifying Round: All registered couples will participate. They will dance one time or twice
(on the same or on a different day) according to the schedule.
b) Semifinal: Couples that have been selected in the Qualifying Round will participate.
c) Final: Couples that have been selected in the Semifinal will participate.
In the Tango de Pista category, couples will compete in group performances, dancing to three recorded songs, selected by the Organization.
In the Stage Tango category, each couple will compete individually, dancing to one song of their choice. The music piece shall not exceed (4) minutes and must be handed in to the Organization in digital format (two CD copies in good condition or mp3).
Since the jury will evaluate the variety of choreographies exhibited, it is recommended that participants perform different choreographies for each of the Qualifying rounds, although this is not exclusive.
The Organization will be entitled to eliminate from the competition those participants that:
a) Do not comply with the rules.
b) Commit any moral offense or improper act that tarnishes the image of the Championship or may cause displeasure in the public.
In order to ensure the impartiality and professional integrity of the jury members, contestants will not be able to participate in seminars, workshops and/or classes taught by any member of the jury, as long as they are in the competition
