Here is an example of a song that has a 3-3-2 rythym, Zitarosa by Bajofondo.

As for how to dance it, there is no one correct way (like all songs).  Using the 8 beat nomenclature that was previously used, one could step on the 1 & 5 beats (2 slows), step on 1, 3, & 5 (Quick quick slow) or step on 1, 5 & 7 (Slow, quick quick), basically just like any other tango.  In addition, the 3-3-2 rythym also allows you to use the 4 beat, such as stepping on 1, 4, & 7 or just stepping on 1 & 4.

I imagine other people could come up with more ideas.
