Bouncy? I think I've seen more than my share of bouncy milonga. Don't forget the Cuban hip motion we sometimes see added to milonga. What ever happened to the grounded walking milonga? (like Ruben dances!)

Hi Ron,
Yeah, "bouncy" milonga--one of my pet peeves.
Another being the "Texas-two-step style" of milonga where the upper body sways from side to side, especially when it begins before the first step is taken.
Thanks for your comment.
We're doing our best here in BsAs to stamp out milonga bounce, but it takes time!
