- So, in these four chapters, we're going to brake down milonga...
- 00:09
- David: Style.
Nancy: Essence.
- 00:10
- Yes.
- 00:10
- What makes milonga - milonga.
- 00:12
- And so, we're going to have four ideas, in each one of these four chapters, and we're going to use 6-count basic as context.
- 00:19
- So, just seeing a flat 6-count basic.
- 00:22
- Side, forward, forward, side, back, back.
- 00:27
- You know, very flat. Different angle:
- 00:36
- And what I'm going to do, to make it more milonga, is to add a harder landing.
- 00:42
- So, instead of going, "Ah", where it's very smooth, which is sort of a tango way, normally, we'll go...
- 00:53
- So, he's kind of falling into his steps, letting his weight go first.
- 00:58
- And so, what happens is I go and, at the last minute, I catch myself. I go, and catch.
- 01:05
- Show what that looks like in the 6-count basic.
- 01:07
- That's what I was just doing.
- 01:09
- I knew that!
- 01:12
- So... Well, almost what I want you to do when you're at home,
- 01:16
- Is just to go, and go, and then fall off-balance, and then catch yourself late, instead of the normal landing.
- 01:22
- If we do that together, it would look like this.
