TangotoCUP London 2025
TangotoCUP London is the London leg of the worldwide T2I World Cup, the global Tango championship that culminates in Istanbul alongside the world-famous Tango2Istanbul Festival in March 2026. With preliminaries held around the world—including Buenos Aires—this is your chance to be part of something truly international.
This year, TangotoCUP London takes place in November. The winners will earn not just prizes, but also the chance to represent London on the world stage in Istanbul.
Why Join?
TangotoCUP London is more than a competition—it is a celebration of Tango’s diversity, talent, and inclusivity. One of the goals of the championship is to remove unconscious biases in judging and create a truly fair platform for dancers from all backgrounds.
Whether you’re a competitor or a spectator, you’ll be part of an inspiring weekend filled with energy, artistry, and community.

Important Notes
- Participants in Social Salon must not be professionals (they cannot teach, perform, or self-promote on social media/YouTube; casual uploads by others are fine).
- Social Salon competitors cannot also compete in Salon, and vice versa.
- For Escenario, one prerequisite for entering T2I World Cup is finishing in the Top 5 of a preliminary. TangotoCUP London is one such official preliminary.
- Each partner must register separately. Spots are guaranteed only after full registration is completed.
