The dance for the CD is the TANGO ROMANTICA, which is skated only in senior competition. It has not been done that recently in competition prior to this year (edited to add most recently in 2005/2006, but not at Worlds or Olympics). The last season it was used (edited to add at Worlds) was the 2002/2003 season in Seniors. (Edited) Rubleva & Shefer did skate it at 2006 Russian Nationals. It was, however, used at Nebelhorn this year, so Davis & White, Copely & Stagniunas, Riazanova & Tkachenko, Mysliveckova & Novak, Hermann & Hermann have all skated it, at least that one time in international competion..
Here's how those teams scored there:

"This is a romantic sinuous dance which expresses the soft, lyrical interpretive characteristics of the Tango. It must be skated with deep edges. Foot and body movements must be deliberate and convey a sense of dignity approaching arrogance. Very erect carriage, precise timing, and continuous flow must be maintained. The difficulty of the steps should not be revealed in awkward or stressed upper body positions. Finally, coordination of free leg movements is essential to avoid a tangled, confused effect."
The dance was invented by Ludmilla Pakhomova, Alexander Gorshkov and Elena Tchaikovskaya.
