Thanks Sergio for the clarification in that and your off list email.  Seems 
that we have been talking at cross purposes, in no small part because there 
is no definitive work that I can find on the Web that explains what were the 
actual traditional figures danced in tango in the Golden Age.  Also the 
official rules from the World Tango Championships explain what is allowed in 
salon, that differs alarmingly from your list of traditional tango figures. 
No wonder I was confused!!

Your commentary and youtube clips and my observations tells me that there is 
no  problem over here with regards to nuevo dancers.  It seems to be a 
significant problem for you dancers in other countries.  If there are good 
nuevo dancers in Australia, they must have left for greener pastures 
overseas as I don't see any that fit your definition.

Thank you for the youtube clip of the famous nuevo dancer as listed on 
Wikipedia under Argentine Tango, who I gather has a style that no-one wants 
to see at a milonga not billed "alternative".  Maybe there is a market for 
"No Nuevo" stickers?

Thanks again.

Well I am off reading this list for a time, as my partner and I are headed 
to the Land of the Long White Cloud for a tango holiday, sampling several 
milongas and practicas.
