I looked at Mario's link to youtube of Sylvania dancing milonga with another woman. At about the 55 seconds mark, I saw a particularly good combination. She stepped foward on her left, side right, close left to right, and come out on the right. (There must be q quick weight change from the right to the left.) There was a zig zag quality to the movement. And then, all of a sudden, it hit me like lightning. It looked just like botta fogoes in Samba, excluding the different rhythm.
Since I also dance ballroom, I'm going to examine if there is footwork and rhythm (not figures) from other ballroom dances I can incorporate into tango, vals, or milonga.
