[Tango-L] 'Milonga is a guy thing?'

[Dubravko Kakarigi]

Milonga is a very different dance from tango, not only in speed/tempo, emphasis, "steps", figures, etc. but also, and more importantly, in the nature of the embrace and the overall body movement and general attitude. Many currently recognized male milonga dancers (like Casas, El Flaco, Rodriguez) while all displaying superb technique, are too smooth for my liking. Good thing there is no "central committee" on milonga (or on tango, for that matter), but milonga dancing is different from tango dancing in some fundamental ways.
