[2] Gustavo Naveira's instruction began to be offered after Argentina became democratic again in 1983 and restrictions on social life eased.
He reported that despite his nerves about teaching, the classes drew "crowds of 200 or more", and many older former dancers became instructors as social tango returned.
[3] Starting in the 1990s in Buenos Aires, the Tango Investigation Group (later transformed into the Cosmotango organization) founded by Gustavo Naveira and Fabián Salas applied the principles of dance kinesiology from modern dance to analyze the physics of movement in Argentine tango.
"[4] The alternative center for young dancers then sprang up in the form of the modern practica, beginning with the opening of the popular El Motivo at the Villa Malcolm social club in 2004.
It refers only to the method of analysis and teaching developed through the application of the principles of dance kinesiology to Argentine tango.
The words Tango Nuevo are neither a specific term nor a title (except in the case of a musical work by Astor Piazzolla).
With this in mind, these words directly express, through their literal meaning, what is happening with tango dancing in general; namely that it is evolving.
There has been much recent discussion, in the community of tango dancers, on the problem of the embrace, dividing the dance into open or closed style, which is also a matter of great confusion.
This simple and clumsy division between open and closed is often used by those who try to deny the evolution of the dance, to disguise their own lack of knowledge.
Today it is perfectly clear that the distances in the dance have a much greater complexity than a simple open or closed... We have learned, and we have developed our knowledge.
Sometime later, Piazzolla met jazz saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, which led to the production of an album considered a classic of the genre: Summit.
[12] Other composers of tango nuevo include Osvaldo Pugliese, Ariel Ramirez, and Juan Carlos Caceres.
