I read the text in the second post, which was about the evolution of the embrace from a side embrace to a front embrace. The argument regarding the photos is that the embrace had to change to reflect the musicality that Petroleo felt. In that context, Petroleo's dance could be inelegant. I don't know what year the video was taken, perhaps before the more modern-embrace was adopted by most. The photos could be mixing apples and oranges.
