Jack you ask "what is this?, I am confused"
I do not know what it is, but I know what it is not. It is not Argentine Tango
or any other form of tango known to me.
The music is not tango, the character of the dance is not tango, there are
moves of the upper body or the hips more related to some of the Central
American dances that should not be present in A.T.
There are some moves typical of the A.T. choreography such as ganchos (or leg
wraps) and a close embrace, this is all that there is in reference to A.T. or
any other form of tango.
What is confusing is the use of the word "Milonga" to describe this type of
dance.
The announcement of an "alternative milonga" usually means that a great part of
the music played will not be traditional tango, in this particular case neither
is the dance being done.
Solution: find a word different than "Milonga" to describe such an event.
Alternative "something" baile? dance? encounter?...
Have a nice day,
Sergio
