[Tango-L] Milonga Reviews

[Keith]

Jay,

I agree with you, but although Villa Malcolm is listed as a Practica, its timing on Fridays is 
from 11.00pm to 3.00am. That's not a time that most people want to practice and it's generally 
treated more as a milonga.

But here at least, a practica is usually used to study step pattern options, dynamics, momentum, 
etc, and connection between partners is low on the priority list. Also it is accepted protocol 
that the rule to keep things moving in line-of-dance is not followed at practicas. It's explicitly 
OK to stand in one place and work out a step.
