These
notes summarise several milonga lessons
given by Alex Krebs at the Cambridge
TangoBar.
Alex
reminded us about milonga "style":
...
weight centred on each step;
...
frequent Traspie movements;
...
back foot fully down; and
...
side-to-side rocking of the torso to the
music.

We began with the
leader facing the wall and repeated:
|
|
|
| |
|
Leader steps back
on his right leg 45 anti-clock across and
with the line of dance Leader
steps to his left side along line of
dance
Leader
steps forward to right of follower across
and with the line of dance
Leader
closes, facing the wall
|
| |
We then added an
ocho and repeated:
|
|
|
| |
|
Leader steps back
on his right leg 45 anti-clock across and
with the line of dance Leader
turns so his lead foot follows LOD
Leader's
other foot does 90 turn across LOD with
hips over turning
Leader
steps across follower's line to close
|
| |
... and then tried
a corkscrew:
|
|
| |
|
Begin with leader
and follower close together Leader
progressively corkscrews down 90o on a
series of steps
Leader
closes by unwinding the 90o in one
reverse step turn
|
| |
... before
revising some milonga 4-step fragments:
|
|
|
| |
|
left forward right
forward (optional turn to right around
follower)
left
forward (optional turn to left around
follower)
right
close
