Advancing in musicality requires several skills such as
.Manipulation and recombination of the rhythm
.transition between staccato and legato concepts
.developing awareness on thematic vs sequence focused patterns 
(cruzada,
ocho cortado etc.)
Here some different milonga dancing styles by great dancers

How about just listening to the music and connecting your movements to 
it?

Geesh. All this intellectualizing about the music. I've never seen it 
get anyone to 'advance their musicality'. It gets people to dance with 
their heads instead of their bodies.

I doubt the milongueros think about this complexity when they dance. 
They just feel the music and move to it.

Leave this for tango academia, not the dance floor.
