Stars attempting tango

Below is a clip from "Dancing with the Stars," of Melissa and Tony doing an Argentine Tango performance. It's the only routine this season that remotely resembled the tango. I was impressed. However, those of us who dance tango know that these ganchos and boleos are half-hearted, and the follow is way too high on her toes the whole time ... but in general it was a great attempt by two non-tango dancers. They deserved their high marks.
