Mario, You are, again, completely wrong. I agree with Nina Pesochinsky: >"Nuevo Tango" can't dance anything or to anything. It is >called "nuevo" because it does not fit the category of "dancing" >:). I am sure that those that claim to be "tango nuevo" dancers are >deaf and don't want to be discovered.

The problem, as I see and hear it, is that the "nuevo dancers" don't have a sense of musicality -- they don't hear the beat/el compás. The music is not Tango; their "dance" is not Argentine Tango.
