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.

Never seen him do that before. ; ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRUQi-9k44M&feature=related - ---- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Figart II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > While I can pick stuff out of any performance that I > don't care for, these four videos are of US teachers > dancing milonga that showcase the look and feel of > milonga done well.
