Abstract
In this paper, I describe and analyze Argentine folk dance competitions. Through the theory of ritualization, I show how the strategies deployed generate hierarchical systems. Participation in this system, however, is experienced by dancers as a redemptive hegemony.
The methodology used for data generation was ethnographic fieldwork, which I conducted intermittently over a period of two years.
