You're looking at the "wrong" website, so to speak. The festival
organizer is Tom Stermitz, and his website is as follows:
http://tango.org/2010sdfest
"The San Diego Tango Festivals are a special treat for all tango
dancers who love the social tango popular in the milongas of Buenos
Aires: close, subtle & romantic."
This is exactly the same verbiage Tom uses in his announcements
of all the Denver tango festivals. And Tango-L history buffs will
tell you that the Denver tango festivals were originally spawned
specifically to provide a haven for close embrace dancers tired of
going to festivals where fancy nuevo steps were taught, and they
featured instructors dedicated to the close embrace style.
