Nuevo dancing was only ever a lot of bad dancing with a few exceptions. 
What's different now is that people are less excited by bad dancing.

Exclusion...

What's eliminating nuevo dancing is the simple fact that it is not social. 
It is anti-social. Hereabouts it now lives only in the artificial world of 
the workshops that teach it and the show demos a.k.a. commercials of the 
step pedlars trying to make a living from them.
