[Tango-L] Tango styles and labeling

[NANCY]

Tango-L was a spin-off from a Ballroom forum many
years ago.  When it became clear that there were two
groups/ two camps talking about two distinct dances,
Shahrukh wisely created a forum for us.  

Maybe the question should be:  Is it time to create a
Nuevo Tango list?  It seems to me that many
misunderstandings result from trying to discuss apples
and oranges on this list.  Or should that be: 
Performance/nuevo/traditional/neo/close-embrace
milonguero [Gricel style]/V-style semi-open close
embrace [Nito & Elba]/your own version
here........danced
to..................................
