RULES
-
Pelando Variación is a competition devised and first organized in 2015 by Olivier Kolker. The idea is for the performing couple to compete in dancing only the variación of the song, instead of the entire song.
-
In detail, the rules are the following:
- Open Competition for PROFESSIONAL and NON-PROFESSIONAL dance couples.
- The competition will consist of ONLY ONE VARIACION
- As part of the registration, the participating couple must SEND, the MUSIC of the tango they intend to perform during the Competition. Only tangos with Variacions at the end will be considered. That selection will then be evaluated and subject to approval by the Organizing Committee. Once the tango is approved, the participant will receive the VARIACION READY TO COMPETE. No changes will be allowed.
- During the Competition, the couple may modify the CHOREOGRAPHY, but not the MUSIC.
- The contestants will perform only the variacion of the tango they choose. The minimum duration of such performance consists of two eights (measures of musical time) until the end of the song. The performance ends with the ending of the variacion.
- The music for the performance will begin a maximum of 12 seconds prior to the Variation.
- The length of the chosen Variación will not be taken into account by the judges, as long as it is a minimum of two eights measures of musical time.
- No elements (i.e.handkerchiefs, umbrellas, etc.) are allowed during the Variación part of the performance.
- If a couple passes into the next round, semifinal or final, there will not be any replacements of either dancer.
-
