Right now I am teaching in Italy, and it would be amazing to celebrate the first European victory with Italians.<\/p>\n<p>This is huge! The Argentinians are incredibly talented and very proud of their Stage Tango prowess in Buenos Aires. Well, we are not surprised at all. There are many avenues to improve stage skills in Argentina, theaters, street dancing, dinner shows&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So the question before the finale was:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Could an European couple win the Stage Tango Championship?<\/h3>\n<p>I had mixed premonitions with this contest. It is enough to look at the previous days <a href=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/en\/winner-of-tango-de-pista-world-championship-2017\/\">2017 Tango de Pista World Championship<\/a>. In this contest, three out of five couples were foreign in the semi finals. However in the finals all five couples were Argentinian.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately Stage Tango is different. Everyone could demonstrate what they are capable of in the previous rounds, and it is unlikely that anyone will change their choreography, like they do in the <a href=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/en\/pelando-variacion-the-cruel-tango-championship\/\"> Pelando Variaci\u00f3n contest<\/a>. It will be interesting to see how the contestants fare on the big stage in Luna park. I have seen choreographies that looked amazing on a dance floor, but rather week on stage.<\/p>\n<p>This picture shows the results of the semi finals. The Italian couple has a significant lead on the others in the first place.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9249 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/escenario-semifinal.png\" alt=\"escenario semifinal\" width=\"704\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/escenario-semifinal.png 704w, https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/escenario-semifinal-300x245.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Did foreigners ever win?<\/h3>\n<p>Lets see what we can learn from the past. Did foreigners ever win the Argentinian Tango World Championship in the stage category?<br \/>\nWell, since it was first organized in 2003, only Argentinian couples won it, with two exceptions:<\/p>\n<p><strong>2006<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8211; Carlos Alberto Paredes and Diana Giraldo Rivera from Columbia.<br \/>\n<strong>2010<\/strong> &#8211; Diego Ortega and Chizuko Kuwamoto. They were representing Argentina, but one of the dancers was Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it! Officially only South Americans have won the World Championships, with only one of the fourteen couples being Columbian.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s not wast any more time!<\/p>\n<p>Here are the results:<\/p>\n<h4>Third place from 3:12:<br \/>\nValentin Arias Delgado and Diana Franco Durango (CO)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eESObL7j-dU?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Second place from 4:24:<br \/>\nSimone Facchini and Gioia Abballe (IT)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/23EgGY6mtBU?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>And the first place:<br \/>\nAxel Arakaki and Agostina Tarchinise (AR)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rwLZcIBTDvE?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Well deserved?<\/h3>\n<p>These results are questionable. It is no coincidence, that I only finished this article days after the championship, I could not bare to look at the website.<br \/>\nI believe that the Escenario was won by a very talented couple, and they have a bright future ahead of them. BUT! This contest should have been won by the Italians who got second place. Europe had a fantastic choreography! Even though one of the winning dancers is Japanese, they represented Argentina, as you can hear in the video:<br \/>\n&#8220;Ellos representan (&#8230;) Capital Argent\u00edna&#8221;.<br \/>\nSo the winner is again &#8230; Argentinian.<\/p>\n<h3>Even the audience vote went against the judge&#8217;s decision<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the scores.
