On the website of the Championship and in the social media could be voted for the favorite couple who was participating in the Final in the Escenario category. There were around 33 thousand people who was voting and almost one third was choosing only one couple.<\/p>\n<p>You do not have to stay in Buenos Aires to vote,<br \/>\nYou do not have to see the 20 couples alive,<br \/>\nThere are not too many chances to see the performances they made in the semifinal to to get to the final,<br \/>\nDoes not matter where are you on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore the power of Instagram, Facebook etc. could help a lot.<\/p>\n<p>When you entered to the government website this is what you could have seen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10354\" src=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4-1080x607.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/best-tango-couple-4.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By completing the vote you have received a nice video about the competitors.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rqGNu7j2DMY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Last year Italians were winning it: Simone Facchini and Gioia Abballe.
