I agree with Lois Donnay about the not adequateness of "tango nuevo music" for beginners. One of the main consequences is that those start to "disconnect" the pulse of the rhythm from the walking that, according to me, is crucial for tango. An other consequence is that people perform static (even elegant) figures, stopping the "natural" flow in the ronda. Then I have noticed this dancing approach translated in the more traditional tango tanda. Probably it would be better to have, for the "tango nuevo" dancers, some specialistic milongas where "tango nuevo" is the major part of the milonga music. As we have in Rome.
