I'm sorry but this video is a perfect example of no line of dance. Look at the video I posted of the BsAs milonga and you can see the entire room moving in unison in the line of dance. I've never seen nuevo danced at a traditional milonga without disrupting the floor.Look at your video, Nuevo dancers will either stop for long periods of time to spin back up against the line of dance or the number one crime endless kicking. I counted 35 boleos in one song by a nuevo couple. I'm not saying you can't dance this way I'm saying you shouldn't dance this way at a traditional milonga. I think the younger crowd dancing nuevo is not being taught how to respect others on the dance floor. I don't blame them I blame the teachers and the organizers of milongas. I go to a milonga in LA where you must follow the rules or you're asked to leave just like they do in Buenos Aires.
