Topic: Milonga &  Milonga con Traspie (Int./ Adv. Level)

By popular demand- one of our most popular classes! Each time we offer the milonga class, there are new and exciting steps added to the class material.
Milonga is the mother of tango. Milonga is more cheerful compared to tango music. In this series, Tony and Ilana will introduce many fun milonga steps and explain how to combine them for different possibilities and variations. Tony and Ilana will also show you how to move to the different rhythms of the Milonga and how to effectively use these rhythms to highlight the different step combinations.
The goal of this series is to enable you to improvise a fun and rhythmic dance on the social dance floor. A lot of these steps and rhythm changes can also be incorporated into your tango. Your social tango will benefit tremendously from this Milonga class!
