I don't understand why people use the term "close embrace" as an
opposite of "tango nuevo"

I used the terms because that seem to be the language spoke here. I
don't use the term "nuevo" to describe tango in real life.
I don't really know why people find the need to take sides and rally
under names like "Milongeuro style," "Salon Style" or "Nuevo style."
I don't see that as doing anything but fracturing our rather small
community.
As long as a dancer follows the 4 rules I previously posted, it is all
good. Let the music and the partner and the space dictate the dance.
I like Homers "one tango" philosophy.
