Video Transcript

"In this clip, we will talk about another element of the milongados that it's also a kind of corrida, but it's on the same place so it's called a trapia. A trapia, it's just a shifting of weight but it's also with the syncopation. So we will start like in the traditional salida in the one, two, three, in between the legs, one and two. One, two, three, in between my legs, one, two, three, one and two, one and two, one, two, three, one and two, one, two, three, one and two and one, two, three, one and two and one, two, three, one and two. And again, this is when you don't have to much space on the crowded milonga and you have to step in the three you can't go farther and you do it on place. And when you can go, you continue in the line of the dance. One, two, three, one and two and one, two, three, one and two and the last one, two, three, one and two."
