I disagree with Lois, Trini and Buffis, at least with regards to milonga in NYC. Luckily I have a fantastic regular partner / follower who loves milonga traspie as much as I do, and mirrors my fascination with Javier/Geraldine youtubes, or I would be one very repressed dancer. Most women here do not enjoy traspie, they choose milongas to take a rest. At workshops on milonga, men far outnumber women. Cabaceos during milonga are much less likely to be successful. I heard a request from one follower recently to "do the basic milonga pattern." I am not even sure what that is, its whatever her teacher selected to walk in milonga rhythm. I have discussed this with a number of followers, who commented that "milonga is a guy thing." Note to organizers: I would gladly pay a premium to attend an "all milonga Milonga", with a break now and then for a tango to rest in. -Martin Nussbaum
