Their Performances on the couple page

1,095 couples have 15 or more dated Performances (66,031 Performances). We know the orchestra of at least one Dance in 66% of them, and the recording’s period in 47%; only those count. 895 couples with ten or more are shown. A Performance with several orchestras counts for each, so a couple’s shares can add up to more than 100%.

From TangoTube’s videos: who danced, and what the Dances were danced to. “Alike” compares the shares of couples whose orchestra we know in at least half their Performances.
