[TANGO-L] Milonga

[Bruno <romerob @telusplanet.net>]

Wonder if anybody has used Corriditas, Cortes, Quebradas, and Sentadas to
dance Milonga?
At a recent Milonga workshop we were encouraged to use more upper body
language and less feet movement. Also, we were encouraged to leave out
standard dance steps (i.e., traspies) and standard tango steps. This
approach to dance Milonga seems to zero in the old ways to dance Milonga
with Corriditas, Cortes, Quebradas, and Sentadas.

A Quebrada can mean something different for some dancers, but for the sake
of brevity a Quebrada is when the man leads the woman to dissociate the
torso from from the waist in a series of small steps. A quebrada is preceded
by a "Corte" a sudden stop in the dance after a "Corridita" (small walking
steps). The Corte and the Quebrada may follow a Sentada -- this is when the
man invites the woman to sit on his right or left leg depending on the
position of the legs at the time of the dance.

Would like to know if you have other definitions as to what constitutes a
Corridita, Corte, Quebrada, Sentada.

Tango Regards,
