Andrew & Michele in the following clip dance in Milonguero Style to the music of Tanturi.
This is very much the style of the downtown Milongas of Buenos Aires. Notice the
attention to posture, embrace and cadence with the music. The walk has a strong forward
drive (notice the slight tipping forward in the lead from and onto a straight leg). The walk is crisp
and accurate, yet soft and almost casual.
Andrew & Michele 1
The quality of the music is our speciality. Tangos, Vals, and Milongas from the great Orquestas of the Golden Age of Tango, when the music was played specifically with dancers in mind. The same music that is played in the great Milongas of Buenos Aires today.
The following clips show some famous Milongas of Buenos Aires
Lo De Celia
El Beso
Nino Bien (Milonga de Lunes)
The Old Milongueros Dancing
