The the 7th Dance World Cup, the celebration that establishes Buenos Aires as a mecca for tango dancers from all over the world. This event will select the best dancers in the categories “Salon Tango”, which stresses the social aspect of the tango dance as a typical porteño practice, and “Stage Tango”, which aims to enrich the dance from a choreographic point of view related to the performance as a show.

Last weekend took place the sixth Asian edition of the Dance World Championship. The qualifying rounds were on Saturday 4 and the semi-finals and finals, on Sunday 5 at the Otakumin Hall Aprico in Tokyo. The total number of participating couples was 63 in the category “Salon Tango” and 21 in “Stage Tango.” The winners of the Salon Tango category were Cristian & Nao (1st place), Szu-Chi & Tzu-Han (2nd place) and Natsu & Hiromi (3rd place). As for Stage Tango, the first place went to Mikage & Arisa, the second place to Genta Nakazawa & Maky and the third to Ou Kubota & Yoshiko Mamada. All of them thus qualified for the respective semi-finals of the World Cup to be held in Buenos Aires next month.
