Sergio, I certainly bow to your superior knowledge of Tango. But! I didn't mention this in my previous post but Dörte Ricklefsen y Ramiro Gigliotti do a 'change of direction' at 0.23 of the original video and they also do one at 1.07 of the second video you posted. I wasn't really sure if this is part of traditional Salon Tango or not. But now you say it's part of Nuevo Tango. I hate to say 'Gotcha' but you did say that the original video had no Tango Nuevo. I know it's picky and pedantic, but this is my nature. Do you agree that Dörte Ricklefsen y Ramiro Gigliotti do a 'change of direction' and is that traditional Tango or Nuevo? Personally, I think the answer is that traditional and Nuevo are getting mixed up nowadays and I think that's great - provided it's still in the style of traditional Tango. I think that I dance traditional Salon Style Tango but I do enjoy 'changes of direction'.
