I mainly watch the YouTube vids to watch how people, especially the milongueros/milongueras, mark out the music. For instance, a few weeks ago I came across what I think is a gem of a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KVtgcLXakQ For me, at the moment, hearing that "bottom beat" in some of Troilo's songs like "Milongueando En El 40" is a bit difficult. By seeing how Jorge dances in this video I am seeing how he's marking out that underlying beat. He's bringing that beat out it into the foreground where I can hear and recognize it. Wow, they are with the music. This doesn't mean I will be dancing like him. It just means I can now hear the rhythm and I can choose how I want to move with it.
