Sophie (one of the promoters) decided to call it a tie because simply it was determined by audience support. The screams & Claps were exactly the same for both groups so in fact it was the audience who determined that it was a tie.... I will not pronounce any opinion whatsoever on the dancing -both did a good job. Next contest will be by actual vote I think it is the fairest thing to do . PS prepare for PUPY ... prepare your ruedas and do it in costume . At Cubamemucho 2008 , the mexican team came all the way from Mexico city to Germany to compete. They were disqualified because they did not show up in costume. PS half of the STEPS group dancers are casineros as well .
