Couples will be able to break the abrazo and use techniques from other dance disciplines, as long as this is justified to enrich the performances of the dancers.
The turns and aerial movements of other dance disciplines should not be excessive. This means that they must not exceed one third of the overall performance. The couple must include movement sequences across the entire area of the stage.
The quality of the outfits can be taken into account when judging by the jury.
In the event of a technical problem, the jury will evaluate the rehearsal of the choreography at the end of the assigned time slot.
If there is a problem with the choreography, the couple will decide whether to continue the dance and the jury will evaluate the manner and grace with which it will solve the difficulties; but the couple will not be allowed to repeat the performance.
The tango selected by the competitors can not exceed more than four (4) minutes.
