I'm surprised to hear you say that and I'm not sure if I really agree. As Mario
noted:
"6. All rhythmic patterns are usually danced in parallel position. I checked
with
some students of the old guard Milongueros and they agree that Parallel feet
was preferred for the most musical/synchopated passages."
I've always thought that the crossed system was used when walking outside
partner as it was then easier to maintain the chest-to-chest contact that is a
requirement of milonguero style. But I do agree that using double-time steps
to change from parallel to crossed and vice-versa can certainly add to his own
musicality.
