Thanks Joe; it's amazing what you can find out if you talk to the right 
people. And this illustrates the fact that you shouldn't judge someone's 
dancing solely on the basis of a single, unauthorised video. Especially
if you're going to critique it on a popular website, or on Tango-L for that
matter.
