Problem Statement

Several boys and girls are dancing a waltz at a ball. Is it possible that each girl can always get to dance the next dance with either a more handsome or more clever boy than for the previous dance, and that each time at least 80%80\% of the girls get to dance the next dance with a boy who is more handsome and more clever? (The numbers of boys and girls are equal and all are dancing.)
