Tango world championship
The Tango World Championship ( Spanish Campeonato Mundial de Baile de Tango ), known in the tango scene as "Mundial", has been held every year since 2003 in Buenos Aires . Amateurs and professionals from all over the world can take part, and same-sex couples since 2013. In 2016, a same-sex couple reached the final for the first time.
Since the Tango Argentino does not see itself as a dance sport with competitions, there are no comparable championships in contrast to the Europeanized standard dance Tango . The Mundial, which is hosted by the city of Buenos Aires, is an unofficial world championship. This is awarded in two categories:
- Tango de Pista (until 2012: Tango de salón), which is awarded for improvised social dance in milongas
- Tango Escenario , the choreographed and show-oriented stage tango
In the run-up to the "Mundial", open championships and unofficial tango competitions will also take place in numerous countries from spring this year. The winners can join the mundial at a later date and do not have to go through the preliminary round groups. The winners of the city championship of Buenos Aires, which is held in different categories, go straight to the final. The pairs of places two to five enter the semi-finals of the "Mundial".
With a few exceptions, the title has so far remained in Argentina. Only two Colombian couples, Carlos Paredes and Diana Giraldo Rivera (2006) and Diego Julian Benavidez Hernandez and Natasha Agudelo Arboleda (2011), as well as a Japanese couple, Hiroshi Yamao and Kioto Yamao (2009), were able to beat the Argentine competition.
In 2015, 700 couples from 43 countries took part.
