All others are wannabes.  Watch all of the YouTube clips of Dany 'el Flaco' Garcia.  He is El Rey de la milonga.  And he can also dance awesome swing and salsa and tango and vals.  You will note the absence of what I call 'the polka look' to his milongas.  He maintains a close embrace and barely moves his upper torso.  He doesn't bounce and his followers do not whip their hips around. He lets the music tell him what steps to take.  He doesn't try to outrun the music or his partner.  

And before you criticize 'all US teachers', Mario,  maybe you could tell us which of those teachers you have had milonga classes with.
