milonga walking
March 4, 2008 by noseintheair
In walking milonga style, get past the simple six count…..
After marching in place to get the rhythm right (with just a suggestion of shoulder movement, but no hip movement)…
(1) (R) Stomp to mark the first beat.
(2) left
(3) Crossing the midline with R.
(4) Left coming forward purposefully, with the embrace close - which keeps her from crossing.
(5) Right coming forward
and
(6) Left collecting.
Now, to spice it up: After the first iteration, move directly to (3)-(4)-(5) con tiempo and then repeat for several iterations.
This calls for “hearing” the 1, 2, 1-2-3 in the music, something that by itself is something I’ve got to work on.
