The first thing they are is professional dancers. My very first Tango lessons, in the mid-90s, were with Pablo Inza [with his then-wife, Gladys Fernandez] when they were already travelling the world as tango teachers. Back then Pablo was super-traditional and conservative with short slicked-back hair and suit. Almost unrecognizable from his later nuevo reincarnation.
I guess Pablo just likes to push the boundaries and constantly experiment with new stuff. But at least he has the training in traditional tango to back it up. IMHO, this is often lacking in some of the newer Nuevo dancers.
