That would be show tango, I guess.

Social tango is not an act. It is the real thing.

June, if you can't see these things, how do you know the judges can?

Let's not forget that their business is business. Moreover, show business.

PS I hear that following the success of the Tango World Championship, the 
city of BsAs is to hold a wine competition. The judges won't need to taste 
the wine. They'll be able to determine the quality just by looking at it. ;)

PPS And Huck... LOL!

     Well Chris, I happen to know that there was
an English crew tunneling from one end, and a French
crew from the other.  How did the powers that be
inspire such cooperation?  Well they told the
French workers starting out from Calais that
a great French chef was preparing a grand feast
for them at the far end of the tunnel, so they
merrily tunneled away in anticipation.  They told
the English crew starting out from Kent that an
English chef was preparing them a great feast at
the near end of the tunnel.  And they desperately
tunneled away in dread.   :)
