[Tango-L] Milonguero is one style of close embrace styles.

[El Mundo del Tango]

Nonsense. "Valid" may be to dance.
But to call it "milonguero style" implies that that is what milongueros 
dance and that is a big fat lie, in Buenos Aires and everywhere else, now 
and fifty years ago. Milongueros dance all differently and they are all 
milongueros because milonguero is a social dancer. Shoin.Basta.Se acabó.
These semantic dirty tricks are abused and these myths are perpetuated by 
limited, mediocre "one trick ponies"
who wish to drag everybody else into the same mediocrity and to point to 
themselves as the "authentic, real thing", while dismissing everything else.
