Zoraida and Diego are members of the young generation of social dancers and teachers who take their inspiration from the milongueros. They run the popular mid-day classes and Friday afternoon milonga at the Confiteria Ideal in Buenos Aires, and have received wonderful reviews of their work in Europe. Zoraida has a background in classical and modern dance and is a protégé of Juan Bruno with whom she has also toured and performed frequently in Europe. In this video Zoraida and Diego introduce the Milonga, explaining the basic walking and turning vocabulary of the dance. They then add more complex variations and vocabulary, and finally show the transformation of the material into the "Vals Crusada." Filmed in 1997 in Buenos Aires. Produced, edited, & translated by Daniel. (approx. 90 mins.)
