Knowledge of the following will maximize the benefits from this workshop: the ability to recognize the milonga rhythm and feeling, an understanding of the differences between a milonga walk and a tango walk, be able to dance a simple Milonga, including full or partial "grapevine" and change of front, and understand "traspie" and its relationship to "double tempo".
