Description: Milonga along with Vals and Tango make up the triad of music and dance forms of Argentine Tango. Set to a lively 2/4 tempo music, Milonga uses the same basic elements as tango, though the movement is more grounded, accented and upbeat.

This series will start with the basic concepts and foundations of Milonga, and develop an understanding of the Milonga rhythm. In Milonga Lisa (Simple Milonga), the dancer steps on each beat of the music.

Requirements: No prior dance experience necessary. This class is open to complete beginners and those with a Tango background who want to learn the basics of Milonga.
