We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Tango Baltic Open Cup 2025, set to take place on March 21, 2025 in Riga, Latvia!

​

🏆 The competition will be judged by a distinguished panel of judges, led by the Head of the Jury Horacio Pebete Godoy (ARG) and featuring experienced and highly respected in the industry tango professionals - Maricel Giacomini (ARG), Ariel Ramirez (ARG/LT), Braulio Martos (ARG) and Karina Lilu (LV) .

🏆 Apart from the sheer joy of dancing and embracing, participating in the competition offers several benefits for tango dancers:

• improving your skills - competing with other dancers can help you identify your strengths and areas for improvement, allowing you to enhance your skills.

• networking - competitions provide a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow tango dancers who share a commitment to continuous improvement. You can learn from their experiences, share your own, and build relationships that contribute to your growth as a dancer.

• boosting your confidence - competing is a wonderful way to enjoy the dance, conquer your fears, and build confidence. Achieving recognition as a winner can serve as a powerful motivator to push your limits and continue refining your skills.
