Why not . I think it would be great to compare two trad Pasos in the same week but you could have two different trad music choices .
We could have the tune Kevin used and Ashley and Ola could have El Gato Montes with both in authenic paso costumes, not in a ridiculous cowboy outfit, which makes a mockery of the dance .

Louis' Disturbia tango on Halloween last year was brilliant. Artem & Natalie's Rihanna song is very staccato too so should work ok.

But seriously, even without that knowledge she could use something more theme fitting and not try to force the classic things on it.
