Mario: I'm not sure why you might ask this. All of the decent nuevo dancers that I know are entirely capable of dancing close embrace, often do dance close embrace, and in fact may change embrace a number of times during a song to incorporate various degrees of light. Although I am sure that they do exist, I personally know no, zero, nuevo dancers who think that they should not be proficient at all forms of dancing to tango music.
It is possible that your perception of a dichotomy between the open and close embrace dancers is a boggyman, spawned by a vocal minority who seem to believe that nuevo is a bastard child of the one true tango. I, and most dancers that I know, think that it is all good, it is all fun, and the only question is: What is appropriate to a specific partner, a specific dance floor and a specific set of circumstances. And often it is indeed close embrace. Cheers D.
