I love milonga - and nothing frustrates me more than a lead who dances it as a fast tango......
two of my most memorable dances have been milongas - one at a practica in a fancy sandwich shop when my partner and I (I was leading) found a great connection, and everyone else on the floor also connected with each other. When the music ended (Tango Negro) we all just stood there for a couple of minutes - amazed at what had just happened. Another was with a lead who I have had a number of nice dances with, but this was one of those times that, for whatever reason, the connection at that moment, in that place, to that music was like magic. b Have you joined the Buffalo Argentine Tango Society Yahoo! group yet? It's easy, and the best way to make sure you know what we're doing and what's going on with the Argentine tango in and around Buffalo......go to www.yahoo.com > select Groups > search for Buffalo Argentine Tango Society > follow the directions to join BATS_tango.
