[Tango-L] Your milonga secrets

[Michael]

Yes, Larry I dance milonga. I place milonga above waltz but below tango. I take small steps, with concentration on movement and not adornments because there just isn't time, unless you rush them.

I have the delightful dilemma of deciding how to spend my time off during the presidential inauguration. Monday Jan 19 is the King Holiday and federal offices in the Washington metropolitan are closed Tuesday. Whereas half the nation seems to want to come here, I want to go elsewhere for tango. I'm thinking of Seattle, Portland, or San Francisco (just love those cable cars.) Any "warm" ideas.

Looking back over the last couple dozen threads I see almost no mention
of milongas. Do you do them? Any secrets of how to do them, and well,
which you want to mention?
