[Tango-L] Nuevo Tango in a nutshell (..If that's all there is to dance in..)

[Mario]

Friday night Milonga in San Miguel de Allende has live music and a small dance floor.
  Last week, two new Nuevo couples came into town and visited the Milonga.
  They were pretty advanced dancers. One leader had followed Gustavo all over the world
  taking classes for three years from him.. in the other couple, the follow had danced
  in San Francisco for years with Marcello...credentials!  Anyway, it was entertaining 
  to watch them.  They were expressive and embellished beautifully.
  Later in the night, the lead (above) mentioned to me (gesturing towards the dancefloor) 
  that there was only enough space for barely six couples maximum.
    As the other Nuevo couple were presently dancing, it was easy to see what
   he was talking about..just by seeing the space that that couple was occupying
   and looking at the rest of the floor available, six couples would be the maximum
   occupancy (to be safe) and they had better be aware of where the other five couples were.  
   
  O.K. the point is;..prior to this, we only had one resident couple dancing Nuevo.
  The same floor was accomodating 8 and 10 couples at a time easily with no danger
  to life nor limb... and so, isn't this THE problem between.. Nuevo y Viejo..in a nutshell ??
