Thanks Sergio for the clarification in that and your off list email. Seems that we have been talking at cross purposes, in no small part because there is no definitive work that I can find on the Web that explains what were the actual traditional figures danced in tango in the Golden Age. Also the official rules from the World Tango Championships explain what is allowed in salon, that differs alarmingly from your list of traditional tango figures. No wonder I was confused!! Your commentary and youtube clips and my observations tells me that there is no problem over here with regards to nuevo dancers. It seems to be a significant problem for you dancers in other countries. If there are good nuevo dancers in Australia, they must have left for greener pastures overseas as I don't see any that fit your definition. Thank you for the youtube clip of the famous nuevo dancer as listed on Wikipedia under Argentine Tango, who I gather has a style that no-one wants to see at a milonga not billed "alternative". Maybe there is a market for "No Nuevo" stickers? Thanks again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well I am off reading this list for a time, as my partner and I are headed to the Land of the Long White Cloud for a tango holiday, sampling several milongas and practicas.
