Being a champion is one of those dreams and expectations we have when we are children. A champion of almost anything and for that purpose, if necessary, we can create a game in order to be the only winners. However, we are not children for ever, and when we grow up, we suddenly realize: What can be better for a Porteño than being a Tango Champion?

The sixth Metropolitan Championship of Tango begins on May the 29th. The couple which wins the final on July the 6th in the Salón Sur (Av. Sáenz 459, at 6.30pm) represents Buenos Aires in the World Championship in August.

The Championship allows people to watch and learn techniques of the best local and foreign dancers of tango. Furthermore, this event is the ideal place to become acquainted with the milonga world, almost as mysterious for most of the city’s inhabitants as for tourists.

For milongueros, those people who go to milongas at least once a week, this championship is a party which lasts a month.

In order to register for this event, people must go to one of the 31 milongas that take part this year, the same day of the contest and with identity document.

Do you know some milonga? Do you dance tango?
