30 years of IDO World Tap dance Championships
1993 - 3 rd IDO World Tap dance Championship
“ The Tap Dance World Championship was moved to Sursee, Switzerland in the third year. Although America was involved before, a brilliant young tap dancer from America surfaced, by the name of Matthew Clark . Although the Championship was won by an outstanding riveting young tap dancer from Spain whose name is Ortega . Matthew charmed everyone involved and was the heartthrob of the international audience. An interesting situation occurred resulting in a new IDO rule. The routine that Ortega presented was done "a cappella" which means without music. Since timing the dance would be very difficult, and require timing every round, a new rule was put into effect, which required all a cappella tap to be contained within the music, be no longer than 30 seconds and never at the begi nning or the end of the routine” 6
