For Your Outstanding Milonga

Moving on the dance floor is a consequence of changing your axis and changing your weight. But the quality and beauty of your movement reside in how and when you’re doing it. A lesson on simple and sophisticated hows and whens for a simple and sophisticated milonga.

Specific for milonga are the short, quick steps. It doesn’t mean though we should stop paying attention to how clean, sharp and precise they are. You’ll learn how to do them so in this lesson. Plus a very small change in the direction will create a movement with a very special look to it.

A lesson in which you’ll refine and train your leading, and following skills in order to create for you and your partner a comfortable embrace in which even with the faster rhythm of milonga, you’ll look like you’re moving effortlessly! 

You don’t have to just do simple fast steps if it’s milonga. You can play by incorporating more complex elements like a Sacada and a Boleo. In this lesson, you’ll learn a combination of steps with these two elements and will find out precious technical details on how to do them smoothly, comfortably and safely. Enjoy the game!

It’s time to play with all the pieces you have available to create your outstanding milonga: the music, the steps, the change of direction, the change of weight. Create and practice some combinations with Sebastián and Roxana. Then add them to your milonga repertoire!

This is a movement coming from the old school that you’ll learn in this lesson. You can see some old dancers doing this step. Sebastián and Roxana like it because it is a fast one, and you switch and change the front, thing which creates a delightful visual effect!
