What You MUST know

Prerequisite

To benefit fully from this course, you should be familiar with:

• Molinete and giros (left and right)

• Comfortable direction changes in forward and back crosses

• Basic understanding of sacadas, barridas, boleos, ganchos, volcadas, colgadas, and alterations

If you're not yet comfortable with these, we recommend preparing for the next edition of this course.

Course Content:

Milonga Vocabulary: Steps are essential yet secondary to the understanding they represent. Throughout this course, you'll accumulate a rich repertoire of steps, combinations, and sequences that will eventually become second nature, enabling you to express Milonga fluently.

Milonga Musicality: We will delve into the structure of Milonga, covering topics such as:

• Affixed rhythm

• Repetitive parts

• Milonga lisa and suspensions

• Double time vs. traspie patterns and timing

• Cadencia, phrasing, corrida, and 3-3-2 syncopation

Recommended Reading: "Let's Dance to the Music!" by Joaquin Amenabar

Course Goals:

• Achieve recognition as an outstanding Milonga dancer

• Join the elite group of dancers proficient in all three tango genres

• Contribute to the excellence and reputation of the Boston Tango Community

Transformative Learning:

Encouragement for Full Commitment:

While drop-ins are possible, they are not encouraged. The progressive nature of this course means each class introduces new material based on previously covered concepts. For optimal growth and transformation, we highly recommend committing to the full 16-week journey.

As you can see from Joaquin Amenabar's explanations - Milonga rhythm originates from… quite long time ago. And... what's worth knowing - it tremendously influenced the tango itself. We assume you attended Joaquin's workshops or you read his book 'Tango, let’s dance to the music'.
