In case of a standoff with two couples who reached the same score in the final, those couples have to dance an additional “ronda”, so the jury can determine the winner.
§ 6 Rating criteria
Tango de Pista:
The dancers find in couples and do not detach from each other until the music is over, because this is the only accepted posture. The body of the dancer has to hold the embrace of the other for the entire period of the dance – in the way that in certain figures the embrace could be flexible but not for the entire time of the dance. All movements have to be done in the space that result through the embrace between both parts of the couple.
The jury takes care of the musicality, the connection of the couple and the elegance of the movement as essential points for the rating. Within these parameters the dancers could perform all figures that are usually danced in the Tango as social dance, containing also barridas, flat sacadas, enrosques etc. Completely excluded are jumps and figures, in which you lose the contact to the ground with both feet and any other choreographic figure from the Tango Escenario. The couples have to be continuously moving counterclockwise like in a ballroom and not stand on one spot, because in this case the dance flow in the “ronda” would be blocked. The clothing is not an evaluation parameter.
Milonga:
The quick, rhythmic and cheerful music of the Milonga should be represented by the dancers. The dancers themselves and also the audience should gain pleasure from the dance. This cheerful atmosphere should be found in the dancing poise, the steps and the dynamics. Fine choreographic elements (e.g. small jumps, the releasing of embrace etc.) can intensify this. Musicality and the interaction between the dancers is an important criterion for the judging. The dance direction is counter-clockwise. It is possible to dance on the spot as long as other couples are not restricted.
Vals:
The Vals with its melody full of swing and the round rhythm should be expressed by the dancers. The dancers themselves and also the public should feel the mood of the dance. This cheerful atmosphere is reflected in the dance attitude, the steps and the dance dynamism. Musicality and the interaction between the dancers is an important criterion for the judging. The couples have to be continuously moving counterclockwise like in a ballroom and not stand on one spot, because in this case the dance flow in the “ronda” would be blocked. The clothing is not an evaluation parameter.
Tango Escenario:
Participants will be able to express their view of the Argentine tango dance. This means that couples will be allowed to perform movements, figures and applications that are not directly related to the traditional tango dance. But the choreography must include traditional elements of tango: figure eights, spins, long walks, voleos, hooks, and the “milonguero embrace.” Couples will be able to break the embrace and use techniques from other dance disciplines, as long as they are justified and enrich the performance of the dancer.-Aerial tricks and movements from other dance disciplines must not be excessive. This means that they must not exceed a third of the overall performance. The couple must include floor movement sequences throughout the whole stage floor. Outfits may be taken into consideration during the judging process. The selected song cannot not be more than four (4) minutes long. Exceptions must be approved by the organization.
§ 7 Best Tango Coach
The Tango Coach can be one person, or a team of two people. The Tango Coach can bring an unlimited number of couples into the contest, of which the best 3 couples are included in the ranking. The Tango Coach prepares and trains the couples for example in the dance technique, musicality, dance flow, Galateo of the contest, choice of clothes, external presentation and in the category “Tango Escenario” also choreography.
The rating of the category “Best Tango Coach” results in the points in the moment after all final rounds. The coached couples receive a score depending on the highest level they have reached in the contest: Qualification round: 1 point.
Semi final round: 3 points. Final round: 5 points. 3rd place: 8 points. 2nd place: 9 points. 1st place: 10 points.
Furthermore the organization can declare other prices and can consult other valuation standards (for example an audience award).
