Aron you say "I believe that 'nuevo' became a term that doesn't describe a form of dancing. It doesn't really mean any type or style of dancing that could be identified without doubt just by looking." *** Nuevo is a distinct tango style and easily identified by looking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxuLvHF2ZhI In this example Chicho starts with back volcadas wich he repeats many times, he has a very open embrace, uses non traditional tango music, front volcadas, off axis, piernadas, etc, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlk8wGZQX7c This is an example of Traditional Tango (Villa Urquiza) here the music is traditional tango, the embrace is variable mostly close, it has a soltada and some steps in shadow position (tango al reves). It is very easy to distinguish both styles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXT38rF0wZ0&feature=PlayList&p=A7403507F2664631&index=0&playnext=1 Another example of Traditional tango, by osvaldo Zotto and Lorena. Embrace, paraadas, dibujos, boleos, amagues, sacadas, etc, etc, all typical moves of this style.
