What are the elements of an elegant tango in close embrace Tango dance?
my 2 cents:
- Maintaining good posture throughout the dance.
- Avoid zigzagging and the use of shoddy feet. 
- Demonstrate precision, softness, and emotion in the execution of figures.
- Keeping the upper body straight and the buttocks tucked in.
- Avoiding the use of: salsa hips, up-and-down shoulder movement, open hand, 
etc. 
- Not getting caught dancing with open legs.
- Avoid over-flexing the knees.
