This is some hot tango! ( With Jean-Claude Van Damme martial artist actor)

I like this tango mess...

I think it would depend largely on the style of dance. I can't imagine a ballroom couple doing well if they can't turn on the appropriate acting mode for Cha Cha versus Bolero, e.g.

Ballroom dancers are doing something more akin to pantomime than acting. Same as ballet dancers--most of the 'full' dancers (as opposed to actors with some dance background like Zoe Saldana and Ilia Kulik, the'98 men's figure skating medalist-the Russian skaters got a lot of dance with their training) in "Center Stage" were...they were okay, but none of quit their day jobs and rightly so. Film acting in particular involves a lot of very small stuff, and conveying emotional themes in dance is usually broad strokes. Some people manage it, some...don't.

And at least in the American Shall We Dance, they brought up rumba, even if the big 'sexy dance' was tango. I think bolero gets overlooked because almost no one's heard of it (plus, and I say this as someone who's not bad at it and rather likes it, it's a very short leap in bolero from sexy to silly.)
