For a lot of people, milonga is intimidating. A large part of that is that it feels so fast.

(Nancy talking)I remember my first milonga so well. I was so very excited and so very intimidated. I heard milonga music and said to my partner (David), "oh, that's a fast tango. I don't like fast tangos." And I sat down. Now I like them so very much that David knows, whenever we're at a milonga (tango dance), wherever he is at the time, even all the way across a very large room, whenever the first milonga song comes on, he looks for me. Because I *always* get the first milonga.

What you should do is just keep changing weight in place. Walk. And remember to not step too big, so you have more time.
