[Tango-L] Is the Milonga going Military?
The milonga Mario cites http://youtube.com/watch?v=d70Zz7j2m90 is an example of different people perceiving the same activity in very different ways. I thought it charming and expressive. It is also an example of how you might dance in the literally shoulder- to-shoulder very-popular milongas of Buenos Aires. Many short steps that don't move the couple very far very fast, circular movements to stay in place, but always moving in la pista, the track or flow of the dance.

[Tango-L] Is the Milonga going Military?
Melina and Detleff doing their interpretation of a Milonga This has got to be the most different looking Milonga that I've yet seen on YouTube Wow, super control and discipline introduced into a song that sings more of freedom and playfullness.what do you think? Does it work? Certainly, it's a new alternative to all of the non-Milonga dancers out there who only dance the Slo-Tango. http://youtube.com/watch?v=d70Zz7j2m90 ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l

That's a wonderfully playful dance! Lots of hip-wiggling and tricky little traspies. When my milongas come close to that level of playfulness, my partners finish the dance with a delighted laugh. ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l

Mario, IMO it works. Sometimes less is more! Their superb technique allows for this form of freedom and playfulness...

Does it work? Mario, your interpretation of this music is quite different from mine. This milonga by Canaro is somewhat stately and subdued (for grownups), unlike Canaro's Reliquias Portenas, which is fast and playful (gigglefest). Yes, I'd say Melina's and Detlef's interpretation is spot-on, and is a good match for the second part of the video, which is a slow DiSarli number.
