  • Story Text: The dramatic footwork, spins and twirls of 'stage tango' were on full display at the World Tango Festival and Championship in Buenos Aires on Wednesday (August 14).
    Considered to be the more flamboyant of the two tango categories, stage tango dancing pairs showed off their best moves in front of judges in the hopes of moving on from the classification levels.
    Buenos Aires, the global tango hotspot, is reportedly the birthplace of the nostalgic and impassioned dance. According to Argentines, the dance originated in the city's working class ports at the turn of the 19th century.
    Buenos Aires' tango festival wraps on the 21st of August and features cinema, talks and competitions inspired by the famous dance.
