THE CHAMPIONSHIP HAS BEGUN

The seventh edition of the City Dance Championship, organised by the Ministry of Culture of the City, began yesterday afternoon at the milonga El Arranque, with the appearance of the orchestra “Los Reyes del Tango”, presentation by Pablo Banchero and the presence of members of the jury Eduardo Arquimbau, Gachi Fernández and Zoraida Fontclara. The champions of the 2008 edition in the Tango Senior category, Rubén Diez and Lidia Casella, opened the rounds. The second qualifying round of the day took place at midnight at El Parakultural.

The contest features the categories “Salon Tango” and “Milonga” plus this year’s innovation: the “Waltz” category. Entry to the competition is free of charge (up to 1 hour before the beginning at each venue, ID required). The dance couple must be comprised of two amateurs, aged over 18, and at least one of the members must be a native or a resident of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
