Mario sent this example of tango dancing, some people think that what is shown has something of "NUevo Tango". 
 
This is the most traditional tango salon that you can see.  The tango as danced and taught in the 40s. and today by the most famous tango teachers such as
Nito and Elba, Osvaldo Zotto, Carlos Copello, Mingo Pugliese, Puppy Costello, Diego Di Falco, etc, etc.
 
 Used as it should be in close and open embrace as needed. Exhibiting, diffeent fforms of walking, some ornaments, amagues, boleos, enrosques, rulos, sacadas, right walked turns with sacadas, ets.
 
In my opinion this is the root of tango, as it has all the movements of tango, the other styles have adopted some of the moves of traditional tango to adapt to certain conditions or to achieve certain effects.
 
It is the style as danced in "Villa Urquiza" and called by that name by some.
 
It has absolutely nothing of Nuevo Tango, on the other hand Nuevo Tango has borrowed selectively certain movements of traditonal Salon Tango.
 
Best regards, Sergio
