You are absolutely right the “close embrace” has been taken out of the San Diego Festival web site. After calling it the “close embrace festival” for so many years it will take a little time to drop the “close embrace”. Just like it took us years to drop the “Der” in Der Wienerschnitzel but they continue to serve the original chili cheese dog.

I am bothered by mis-information however... I just took the time to revisit and review their website... http://www.sandiegotangofestival.com/ Maybe I'm missing something, somewhere... but, I've visited and carefully read each page. I can NOT find the term 'close embrace' used anywhere on the site... I can not comment on this year's event, except to say that I wish I'd been there. My prior experiences make it one of my favorite festivals. I completely enjoy the festival... the friends who attend... and the San Diego community. Then again... I've never been to a milonga... let alone a festival... where there were no examples of poor floor craft... including truly 'close embrace' events...
