The final was on December 9 in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

Just a reminder, this is the competition where tango music is more intense, the fastest part being played. Only 12 seconds are allowed before the Variaci\u00f3n, so you have a maximum of 1-2 minutes to convince the jury that you are the best.<\/p>\n

This is how the PV website writes about this:
\nThe Variaci\u00f3n in a Tango is musically the fastest part, usually near the end, comprising only a few measures of fast notes. Translated to the dance, it is the all-or-nothing moment, when the dancers reach a frenzied maximum passion in a display of speed and skill. source: https:\/\/www.pelandovariacion.com\/ <\/a><\/p>\n
