Re: [TANGO-L] And the new World Champions are ...

This has been old news since September...why did it take so long for this info to get out to the tango community?  Not asking this retorically, really asking.

Is there a support for Tango Competitions?  Being a participant in DanceSport Competitions, I see a fairly strong support (slowly growing) in the US among dancers to support dance competitions, but wondered about the tango world.

Does the tango world really support tango competitions, or is tango just seem like a dance that can't be judged?  At the qualifying event for the IDO World Championships here in Miami during the USTC, there is very little turnout for the competition.  And honestly, no offence to the dancers that compete, but I've seen as good if not better dancers at the milongas than I usually do in the competition.

I'm curious of peoples opinion on the idea of a tango championship.
