Steps for Tango v. Vals v. Milonga

[TangoDiary]

I have a question about close embrace. I think that should move it to another topic.

I also have questions on Milonga, but later.

Sorry for bothering.

Why not just post your question?

Welcome to DF. You're not being a bother. Go ahead and post your different questions on your different topics as (NEW) so they don't muddle together.

TangoDiary,

Here is the place to post your questions. Some of the best will try to help you. Your first post was a wee ambiguous, but you are welcomed.

Okie, I'll post my question:

Is there any difference between the double step & traspie in Milonga?

 

[Angel HI]

Not certain what you mean by "the" double step. This would indicate that you are referring to a specific step. Traspie, or the "misstep", is, in kind, a double step, but is better thought of as a contratiempo or syncopated beating of a step. Traspie is not only a step; it is also a style, and isn't always done with just a double step. Sometimes, it is found/created in other movements.

...one of these days I really should take a workshop on traspie...
