FAQ:


1- Is it possible for a couple to compete to 3 different Tango Nuevo songs?
Yes. In single dances competition, regardless if it is Tango Salon, Milonga, Vals or Nuevo. The couples participating on the single dance heat will dance for 90 seconds approximately. Each couple competing can repeat enrollment up to 3 times for the same level and age group, and often do this to have an opportunity to play more times. Have in mind that a repeated enrollment for the same level and age group will, often, get less competition.
Other opportunities to dance more times in a more competitive way would be challeging the younger age groups, or testing your skills to higher levels. And those could also be repeated up to 3 times.

2-When competing can we choose the music I dance to ?
No, the music is randomly chosen by the music director, except if you are competing in tango show. In this case the couple is dancing solo for a maximum of 210 seconds (3.5 Minutes). All music should be submited ahead of time to the organizer after participation fees are collected.

3- Can I compete dancing Milonga as a single dance contested and dance it again as uncontested to receive a score from the judges?

Yes, you can dance the same dance, age and level competition as a contested competitor and, or as uncontested competitor. Have in mind that at DC Tango Challenge unique scoring system the contested competitors also wilCan I dance l receive scoring, just like the uncontested competitors. The difference is how the judges scores are processed…. in contested competition the scores of the couples are compared to other couples competing in the same level and age group to define their finalist placements (1st , 2nd and 3rd places ), where uncontested competitors will receive placement based on a scoring threshold score 94 and above – 1st place, scores 89-94- 2nd Place, and below 89 – Third Place without any comparison with other competitor scores.

4- As a Professional, can I dance with different students?

Yes, in pro-am competition, the age group and levels are defined by the amateur. Because you can repeat level and age groups on single dances, you will have the freedom to enroll students of the same level and age group to the competition also, besides the students with different levels and age groups. However, for multidance (T,V,M) and Tango scholarships (T,T,T) you will be restricted to one student since all levels, and ages are combined in only one heat with 3 songs played on its entirely.

5- Can I pay with Credit Card?

Yes, please add 5% processing fee to the total. You can pay by phone in this matter after emailing all forms.
