other styles: (in this video).

Long Steps, Embrace in "V", use of a varying embrace (elastic embrace) close,
with little light to open, profuse use of embellishments, elegant erect
posture. Elegant formal dressing.
Tango walk with a narrow base, the feet brush heels as they pass each other,
the foot lands either toe or heel first. Walking on a line with external
rotation of the foot.

Shorter steps, embrace more frontal (where the V is less evident), close
embrace only, different degree of elegance, Tango walk with a wider base, the
feet are right under the hips, the feet do not brush heels as they pass each
other, the foot land flat on the sole, walking on two lines, no external
rotation of the foot. Less use of embellishments.
2 - Milonguero - Susana Miller- Same as #1 except that here the embrace is more
in V, and there is more play with the rhythm. Use of ocho cortado.

Tendency to use non traditional tango music.
Very open embrace, colgadas, soltadas, volcadas, piernazos, changes of
direction, changes in the embrace, profuse use of heel sacadas.

A very open embrace, profuse use of heel sacadas and changes of direction.
Elegance is sacrificed in exchange for an element of "surprise".

Tendency to use non traditional tango music (in this case Argentine flokloric
music is used). Some piernazos, some volcada, a very open embrace, some
soltadas.
