Here in Buenos Aires it's part of the codigos that because the tango is so intimate, between the music during the chit-chat time, there is no touching of the other person. Kind of a time to return to normal, before taking up the intimate embrace again. It's actually considered bad manners for a man to hang-on to his partner during the interval, such as keeping his arm around her or holding her hand. This is the cool-down period, and it underlines that the close embrace is the tango dance position, not "something else."
