[Tango-L] Your milonga secrets

[Iron Logic]

Hello Felix,
Sebastian Arce is one of the few dancers who dance every minor beat of milong. And you feel he is doesn't go with music ?:)
Unfortunately in this video, music / sound are not in sync( a youtube glitch), still if you observe carefully you will notice relationshop between step patterns and rythm of music. 
His rhythm and speed absolutely fantastic, only other dancers I know come close in musical precision may be Chicho or Gustavo. But milongas? Sebastian is the best :)
 
It is possible he does not step every beat at times, but must be extremely difficult:).

This dance is very sterile. They are dancing like robots - all head, no heart.

I find this not stepping to each beat very odd. I've always learned that in
milonga, you step with each beat.
