Hello Mario & Keith, Even when it's true that there are many differences in the way Oscar & Mary Anne, and Gustavo and I dance, I wouldn't say that the difference is the style. The four of us are clearly dancing Salón Style, and we called it like that because anyone that dances in such a way that can fit to any milonga, respecting the rules of navigation in a dance floor and keeping a constant close embrace, will be dancing Salón Style. "Milonguero" is only a different way of calling the same thing.
Actually, I've never danced with Oscar (though I'd love to) because he is too tall and I'm too short (he's even taller than Gustavo), but Gustavo had danced with Mary Anne and our ways of dancing are totally compatible. The way in which each dancer places his/her feet is what build up each dancer's personality on the dance floor and what makes each dancer original or not, but that doesn't mean that the styles are not compatible. Anyway, thanks a lot for your interest in our dancing.

I'd say that Oscar Casas is dancing Mionguero style, while Gustavo is dancing a smooth Close Embrace Salon style. The music for each dance is particularly suitable for these styles of Tango and are good examples of how you might dance differenly to different types of music.
