Uhm - that's quite a drastic redefinition of "Nuevo" (and would
actually apply to many rabid foaming-at-the-mouth nuevo haters with
too little introspection, too, as a matter of fact).

It's my impression that "fake tango" can be danced (just as badly)
in many different styles.

I just call tend to call bad tango "bad tango".

And in fact, not even a close embrace can make me think of bad tango
as good, even though the couple would just fail at *one* of your
criteria for fake tango.
