Greetings, Here's what I observed from the video:
1) the dance is playful as is the music, in contrast to more passionate tangos 2) the routine appears choreographed, well choreographed 3) some of the figures are modern though rooted in what appears to me to be canyengue I understand the question about the dance performed in the video since there are a myriad of styles. Tango purists often label anything they don't like as "nuevo". Some professional instructors I've known take this attitude even further by claiming that if it's not their style it's not tango. Personally, I feel that if it walks like tango and talks like tango then it's tango. The nuanced parsing of styles is probably an exercise in futility. I apologize if I have engaged in that activity here.
