...and the one after that will be for showy style....etc etc.

No. It would not at all. You are making a very wrong  assumption here.
That the so called "milonguero style" is the only form of social tango 
versus "show".
It is not. Both nuevo and salon are forms of social Tango involving all 
those elements that you think of as "show". Whether the use of those 
elements is appropiate in reference to floor traffic conditions or the 
person dancing with you, that is another issue, a matter of judgement, not 
"style".
