These notes
summarise a milonga lesson by Juan and
Kicca at the Cambridge TangoBar in 2002.
Juan Manuel
Acosta & Kicca Tommasi reminded us of
the milonga "style":

grounded through our pelvis

We began by
stepping only on the strong beats:
|
|
|
| |
|
Step forward onto
one foot Close with the
other foot
Step
back onto first foot
Close
with the other foot
|
| |
.. then only on
contratime beats:
|
|
|
| |
|
Step forward onto
one foot Close with the
other foot
Step
back onto first foot
Close
with the other foot
|
| |
We danced a
milonga box, first closing on alternate
strong beats ...
