Class on milonga traspié
Milonga can be scary for beginner dancers at the best of times however Luciano and Celeste will enlighten you in the world of milonga and make it accessible. Their calm, clean and precise vast knowledge and skill in milonguero style will help you to get this! Milonga is a playful dance to playful syncopated music in essence that is what traspie is; a transfer of weight from one foot another with syncopated rhythm (literally in the BA dialect it means ‘wrong step or stumble’). This is in their words what they are going to teach you:
The milonga is said to be the most playful and rhythmic dance, among the many variations we could learn by dancing milonga, the style traspié is quintessential for those who want to dance this rhythm properly. This workshop is aimed at those who love the milonga. We are going to work on the structures admirably taught by Pepito Avellaneda adding on top of it traspié exercises.
