As I indicated earlier, I dance primarily close embrace.  But that is only
because most of my dancing is in crowded milongas.  I also love to dance
open-embrace with many of those elements termed "nuevo" when floor and
partner permit.  I personally think that the various "styles" are merely
different expressions of the same basic dance.  I also think that what is
called for is NOT separate lists, etc..., but rather a little tolerance.
Can't
we simply be nice to our fellow dancers?

Perhaps a corollary is that it is inevitable that dance politics will be
even more vicious?  I would hope not!
