Looking at V&F's site, and reading through their list of achievements, I see they've listed:

Does anyone know anything about the competition in which they got this title? Because I've Googled for it and I came up with nothing.

Anyone?

Is it not the showdance division of the World Argentine Tango championship?

Dunno - do you have a link for this?

The only AT world championships I know of are the ones in BsAs - for example:

Fernando Gracia and Natalia Tonelli Attori are the current Show Tango champions.

Someone has asked this question over on the V&F forum too. Why don't you send V&F an email, I'm sure they would be happy to answer, there is an email link on the site home page. Must admit I'm rather intrigued too!

They have their own forum? Where's that? Oh, hold on, do you mean the V&F thread?

EDIT: Ah, just found it:
http://www.vincentandflavia.com/forum/

no there is a forum on their website!!

http://www.vincentandflavia.com/forum/

Hmmm, I can't face the thought of registering on yet another forum - the question was asked here:
http://www.vincentandflavia.com/foru...135.msg986#new

Their "contact us" site says specifically to use the forum for general enquiries, so I'll see if they respond to that.

If anyone else has any info, I'd appreciate it...

Some of the hits call it the IDO (international dance organisation) World Showdance Argentine Tango Championships.

I found that on google but I don't think that can be what they mean, because according to that they came third in 2005 and third in 2006.

Actually am I looking at the wrong thing? The results I've got are for "World Championship Argentine Tango Adults - Couples"- no mention of showdance.

I found it on the IDO website but Vicent and Flavia didnt win it 2005/2006. They came third in both years.

Yes - there's a pic with the results here - you can just about see their heads peeking out on the "3" podium.


Errr... dunno.

My previous googling for V&F's results came up with this information for their Ballroom / Latin work.

But their AT stuff seems to be a bit of a mystery...


So, umm, where'd they get "Champions" from then?

Me not understand

Colour me puzzled. Have also done a search, and cannot find which championship this is.

Yeah - I spent an hour or so doing searches, and asked elsewhere, before posting this thread.

Well, at least I know it's not just me who's confused.

Flavia actually mentioned being "placed first in the show section" in A N Other World Championship on ITT yesterday, so I think they definitely managed to win something - I doubt they'd be allowed to - ahem - exaggerate achievements so explicitly, would they?

Not that that moves the mystery much further on. Sorry.

Oh sure - they've won stuff, of course, they're professional dancers, they didn't just wander in off the street or anything. Although I wonder if their AT expertise is a bit over-hyped, reading between the lines - hence my question.


I'd very much hope not, of course - I think they're both great, and I'd be disappointed if that were the case. It's just a shame they don't provide links from their site.

The mystery continues...

Still on the case ... this link is good for a tee-hee

Thank goodness the 1-10 Italian doomination is broken by our British couple - Vincent and Flavia. Mind you, if numbers 1-3 and 5-10 are as hot as the true Brits at number 4 ...

p.s. Why alone of all the couples named is Flavia ahead of Vincent.? Who exactly wears the trousers in that partnership?

Oh My God. What is Vincent wearing?


Hey, one mystery at a time, please...

So, no ideas then?
