       Well, ballroom dancing is (allegedly) a competitive sport. I'm just worried what it'll do to their lovely hair and clothes. Spent the past 3 months sewing on 15000 sequins only to be tossed harshly into a blue mat.

       Perhaps all judo competitions should be performed to tango music, with extra points being awarded for artistic interpretation.
