[TANGO-L] Is there Nuevo tango dance style?

[Oleh Kovalchuke <oleh_k @HOTMAIL.COM>]

I had a mental picture of Nuevo style as wide flowing steps in very fluid
open embrace with a lot of sacadas, boleos and other impressive if
physically demanding moves. I saw some people dancing this way and heard
others referring to it as Nuevo tango. I still think this style of dancing
does not work well with D Arienzo. It fits nicely to Pugliese of La Yumba
period, to Di Sarli and some Piazzola.

However if there is no such style as many people pointed out (or rather the
picture I had is not of Nuevo tango) then the point is moot and there is
nothing to discuss really.

PS See, Chas, you were right: since I dance close embrace style #2.5, I
indeed do not care about Nuevo style all that much. To the point that the
very existence of the style is not important to me either.
