 History of Modern Ballroom Dancing
The character of the Milonga is of a very soft private dance, with visual emphasis on the leg movements.
This character was changed dramatically in Paris in the 1930's, where the dance was combined with the proud torso of the other ballroom dances, and given a staccato action.
Early on, the Foxtrot was danced this way, with the left and right feet falling on one line of dance, each being placed directly in front of or behind the other.
