Milonga (as a dance) 

A fast, rhythmic, and playful precursor to Argentine Tango. It is danced to music with a bright, steady 2/4 time signature, characterized by its light, compact steps and a strong emphasis on the beat. Unlike the dramatic and elegant Tango, Milonga is often described as **joyful, cheeky, and grounded. 

Tango Vals (or "Vals Criollo")

A style of Argentine tango music and dance that adapts the rhythmic and melodic feel of the European waltz to the syncopated, rhythmic essence of tango. It is characterized by its **3/4 time signature**, which creates a flowing, circular, and romantic dance experience, distinct from the more rhythmic and dramatic "walk" of traditional tango. 

Lesson 3: November 17 - Sneak Preview

In lesson 3 we introduce the Parallel Cross (Traspié) with Resolution:

Lesson 2: November 10

In lesson 2 we introduced Milonga's rhythm for Milonga Lisa (single time) which is dancing only on the 1 beat, and Milonga Traspié (double time) which involves dancing on the 1 & 2 beats.

We introduced Traspié  (double time) on the 2nd Side Step (Step to Leader's Right). 

Next week will include the Parallel Cross which is shown in the second video below.

Lesson 1: November 3 

In lesson we introduced Milonga's rhythm for Milonga Lisa (single time) which is dancing only on the 1 beat, and Milonga Traspié  (double time) which involves dancing on the 1 &  2 beats.

Traspié (with an accent on the é) in Spanish means a stumble / misstep, a small loss of balance while walking.

We introduced the Baldosa which is like the C-Step but with a Leader's Back Step at the end. Baldosa is Spanish for Tile.

We included Traspié  on different steps within the Baldosa.
