Argentine Tango – Milonga Vol II

Argentine Tango – Milonga Vol. II is an intermediate instructional video presented by Christy Coté and George Garcia as part of The Argentine Trio Series. This course builds on the fundamentals of Milonga by introducing more complex rhythmic patterns, syncopations, turning actions, and Traspié variations commonly used in Argentine Tango social dancing.

The lessons focus on developing smoother weight transfers, continuous movement, and partner coordination while maintaining the close connection and rhythmic character of Milonga. Rather than teaching isolated techniques, the course presents a progressive sequence of intermediate figures that can be applied directly to improvisational social dancing. The demonstrations show how individual figures connect naturally, helping dancers improve musical interpretation, floorcraft, and movement continuity in busy dance environments.

With approximately 90 minutes of instruction, this volume is suitable for dancers who are comfortable with the fundamentals of Argentine Tango and Milonga and are ready to expand their repertoire through more advanced combinations and rhythmic variations. It also serves as a practical reference for instructors teaching intermediate Milonga technique and partnerwork.
