Lauantaina 1.2. on Tanssikoulu Tangon ohjelmassa Milonga La Strada. Aloitamme klo 19 opetustunnilla, jonka aihe on Vanha Tango eli Tango Canyengue. Milonga alkaa klo 20 ja jatkamme ainakin noin klo 23 saakka. Silloin siis vain tanssitaan. Paria vaihdetaan välimusiikin aikana 3 tai 4 kappaleen jälkeen. Toki saa tanssia myös vain oman parin kanssa. Ilta on tarkoitettu kaikille argentiinalaisen tangon harrastajille eli niille, jotka ovat joskus jossain oppineet ko lajin perusteet. Koska sana "milonga" on hankala sen monimerkityksellisyyden vuoksi, laitan tähän mukaan selvityksen sen merkityksestä. Selostus on valitettavasti vain englanniksi. Tervetuloa La Strada- "milongailtaan!
"The term
"milonga" has three meanings. First of all, a milonga is a social
event or location for tango dancing. More simply, milongas are tango dance
parties. People who dance at milongas are known as milongueros. When a group of
people go tango dancing, they go to a milonga.
Secondly, milonga
refers to a distinct style of tango. Although milonga uses the same basic
elements as tango, it tends to be faster-paced and less complex. Milonga tends
to place greater emphasis on the rhythm of the music. Dancers must strive to
keep their bodies relaxed, as syncopated pauses are not made.
There are two
distinct styles of Milonga, Milonga Lisa and Milonga Traspie. In Milonga Lisa
(Simple Milonga), dancers step on each beat of the music. In Milonga Traspies,
dancers must transfer their weight from one foot to another, in double time to
the music.
Finally, milonga
refers to a distict music genre. Milonga tango music is distinguished by its
faster-paced beat, requiring dancers to take quicker steps."
