Tango BA brings 800 couples from 47 countries to Buenos Aires, with world championship finals taking place at the Teatro Gran Rex.
If you're a fan of 'Strictly' or 'Dancing with the Stars' you'll most likely love the dancing now on display in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.
Hundreds of couples from 47 countries are strutting their stuff at the 24th Tango BA Festival in one of the world's biggest tango competitions.
Running until 2 September, the festival features more than 2,000 artists and around 150 concerts, exhibitions, dance classes and milongas across 50 venues.
Sixty couples have reached the decisive stages, with 40 competing in Tango de Pista and 20 in Tango Escenario.
The World Championship finals will take place at the Teatro Gran Rex on 1 and 2 September.
