Slow is usually 2 beats at whatever rate the orchestra is playing....
Quick is usually 1...
Half time is usually 4...

Etc etc etc...

Traspie is where most fall apart and don't understand it..

====    ====    ====    ====
If the above is 4 beats, then in milonga with a 2/4 timing, that would
be 2 bars...
Breaking it into stepping on the beat for Lise, then this for traspie..

====   === =   ====   ====   (stepping at all the breaks...)
or....
====   = ===   ====   ====

Probably a poor example.. but it gives you an idea...
