Embellishments - As Compared to Styling
A story told to us by our main Argentine Tango teacher, Michael Walker, about something he saw in a milonga in Buenos Aires: There was a lady and, every time she got a dance, she did this elaborate arm thing to come to the embrace that was meant to communicate "oh I'm moved by so much passion" but she did this every single dance with every single partner. And, sometimes, even again, in the middle of dances. So it became silly looking because there was no way she was moved by so much passion in exactly the same way every single time she began a dance with every single leader.
While we're certainly not against drama, people tend to overuse their embellishments, to use them repetitiously and not use them in context.
