Understanding the Grammar of Change of Direction - It's not what you expected.

Week 4 (19.9.16)

Milonga Traspie:

We reviewed moves  from Week 3 and focused on musical phrasing.

We studied the following milongas and noted that in some the phrasing was very punctuated and with others it was much more subtle. We then explored how that would affect the dancing of each song.

• 'Cap 13 Milongon'

• 'Yo Soy de San Telmo' - by Di Sarli

• 'Silueta Portena' - by D'Arienzo 

• 'La Milonga que Hacia Falta' - by Donato 

Week 3 (12.9.16)
