Hello Felix, Sebastian Arce is one of the few dancers who dance every minor beat of milong. And you feel he is doesn't go with music ?:) Unfortunately in this video, music / sound are not in sync( a youtube glitch), still if you observe carefully you will notice relationshop between step patterns and rythm of music. His rhythm and speed absolutely fantastic, only other dancers I know come close in musical precision may be Chicho or Gustavo. But milongas? Sebastian is the best :) It is possible he does not step every beat at times, but must be extremely difficult:). More videos of him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcU_np2TnuU (demo, a little off again) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rjbyYF3peo (demo compact) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6GZicIfOGc (show) IL

They are dancing like robots - all head, no heart. I find this not stepping to each beat very odd. I've always learned that in milonga, you step with each beat.
