There are two rhythms in milonga:

1) double rhythm -- two steps in two beats of music; and
2) triple rhythm (called traspie) -- three steps in two beats of music (like
a triple step in swing).

There is no syncopated rhythm in milonga.  The wrong terminology is used
because teachers aren't musicians.
