     Ah, perhaps we are, but at least, unlike you, we did learn to
read.  It would seem obvious that an author praising both Gustavo
Naveira and Fabian Salas and referring to their moves as "new dance
sequences of breath-taking innovation and beauty" could hardly be said
to consider nuevo "awful and shallow and inelegant."

     The article the MACFroggy person posted (written by Terence
Clarke) very clearly did not criticize nuevo itself, but rather bad
20-something nuevo-dancer wannabes in cargo pants thinking they are
dancing nuevo when in reality they are doing something more resembling
a WWF wrestling match.
