[Tango-L] Videos of Dancing at Milongas

[Jay Rabe]

Chris,
 
     I'm interested in hearing what you see in the milonga videos that is so different between USA and EU. Just curious, but I didn't see anything in the Amsterdam clip that was so different than my experience of milongas in the US, other than maybe the beautiful and spectacular high ceilings and arches in the building.
