As well as being a display of talent, the championship is also a space to share the culture of Buenos Aires with foreign dancers, said Argentine competitor Facundo Rodriguez.

This year is the 20th anniversary of the World Tango Championship. The competition takes place during the Tango BA festival, which began on Wednesday (August 23) and will end on September 3.
