Agree with Ron (and Jack and Sergio).  There are a few nuevo moves in the 
dance that would not have passed as what is allowed in salon style at the 
recent world tango championships (eg leg above the knee).   Would they have 
been allowable at a milonga that bills itself as "close embrace"?

A couple of real milongas in Seoul, that incorporate a few nuevo moves.

Many of the coupless would not be tagged as doing salon or millonguero 
style.


A Seoul milonga that was identified as "alternative" with what appears to be 
respectful dancers.

No need to label a milonga if everyone is respectful.  And if not, the host 
can do something about it I guess.

Have a good day.
