The IV World Tango Championship is taking place in Buenos Aires on the 17th - 27th August 2006. This pinnacle tango event attracts tango dancers and enthusiasts from around the world. Last years World Tango Championship was attended by over 1000 international dancers and an audience of over 50,000 from countries such as: Germany, Costa Rica, Spain, Cuba, France, Mexico, USA, Bolivia, Hungary, Brazil, Ireland, Colombia, Italy, Chile, Portugal, Paraguay, Russia, Peru, Switzerland, Uruguay, Ukraine, Venezuela, China, Korea, Japan, Honduras, Australia and Slovenia, in addition to contestants from almost all Argentine provinces.
