MHO in this discussion is that one should not criticize in a negative form 
other people's dancing.  At the most one could say I do not like the way he 
dances, or I like his dancing style ... If absolutely necessary one can have 
a general discussion of movements of the arms in milonga candombera but 
without putting anyone on the spot.

...everyone is entitled to have his own style.

I do not think that Jean-Pierre deserves any criticism, quite the opposite, 
he should be congratulated.   He (IMO) is obviously doing a great job, his 
dancing style is elegant, has great sense of the rhythm, he has taken the 
time to share his accomplishments with us, videos and beautiful pictures. He 
is a good dancer.

Even more, if you knew "Candombe" or "Milonga Candombera" you would think 
that Jean-Pierre is dancing according to the style.

The Milonga candombera is different from the regular milonga, it may adopt 
certain movements of the body and the arms, imitating the Candombe itself.

I am enclosing some examples.
