[Tango-L] Milonga - inspiration for the weekend

[Astrid]

I have checked and you are right, Michael. He is not using any milonga 
steps, it is just like tango, different rhythm.
However, the links you posted, the 2nd and the 4th are not very good either.
I don't know much about US teachers, but I personally think, Pablo Veron and 
Jorge Torres are great milonga dancers. Pablo I have only seen in that 
movie, but I have danced with Jorge, and he is fabulous. He is much more 
than just a stage dancer, he feels like velvet.

by the way, while looking for more milonga I came across a clip of El Indio 
dancing chacarera. Or is it Gato? Never seen him do that before. ; )
