Why Milonga?

Milonga, despite appearing easier than other tango genres, presents unique challenges. The fast-paced music, intricate rhythms, and nuanced steps demand a deep understanding and refined technique. This course aims to demystify Milonga, ensuring you grasp its rhythm (1 - - 4 5 - 7 or 1 - - 4 1 - 3), differentiate double time and traspie, and master the cadencia.


Prerequisites:

To benefit fully from this course, you should be familiar with:

  • Molinete and giros (left and right)
  • Comfortable direction changes in forward and back crosses
  • Basic understanding of sacadas, barridas, boleos, ganchos, volcadas, colgadas, and alterations

If you're not yet comfortable with these, we recommend preparing for the next edition of this course.


Course Content:


Milonga Vocabulary: Steps are essential yet secondary to the understanding they represent. Throughout this course, you'll accumulate a rich repertoire of steps, combinations, and sequences that will eventually become second nature, enabling you to express Milonga fluently.


Milonga Musicality: We will delve into the structure of Milonga, covering topics such as:

  • Affixed rhythm
  • Repetitive parts
  • Milonga lisa and traspie
  • Double time vs. traspie patterns and timing
  • Cadencia, phrasing, corrida, and 3-3-2 syncopation

  • Join the elite group of dancers proficient in all three tango genres

Transformative Learning:

This course is designed for progressive learning, with each class building on the previous ones. Even if you have taken Milonga courses before, you'll discover new insights and depths in your understanding and performance.


Encouragement for Full Commitment:

While drop-ins are possible, they are not encouraged. The progressive nature of this course means each class introduces new material based on previously covered concepts. For optimal growth and transformation, we highly recommend committing to the full 16-week journey
