More than 20,000 people attended the music and dance
shows during the competition, organizers said, with a final showdown on a stage
in front of the historic Buenos Aires Obelisk in the heart of Argentina’s
capital.
In the stage category, which featured spectacular
acrobatic stunts, Constanza Vieyto and Ricardo Astrada from the city of
Pergamino beat 19 other couples to emerge champions.
Forty pairs vied for the title in the traditional or
“salon” category, dancing a tango that originated in Buenos Aires, with the
crown going to Cynthia Palacios and Sebastian Bolivar from the city of
Cipolletti.
