Re: Learning Tango

I have 2 completely different questions I need help with please:

1. As I understand it, it isn't just Tango that get's played at a Practica/milonga. There's also Milonga and others that I can't remember/spell . My questions are, what are the different types of music and what are the differences?



2. I was talking about etiquette with a teacher at a Practica and she said that at a Milonga, everyone moves in the line of dance and strictly no overtaking, but at a practica, no-one really cares, cut across the room, overtake, dodge in and out.
Assuming this is generally accepted and assuming that there is an answer to this one, would an Argentine Tango room at an MJ weekender be considered to be a Practica or a Milonga?


TIA,
Gav.
