A walk is not a walk… and an embrace is not a hug.
If you couldn’t tell the differences, it is time to learn from some one who could.
(Sometimes tanguero(a)s who have danced for a few years come up to me and ask for my advices. They have stuck at a level for a long time and are frustrated. My advice, most of the time, is simple: go back to the fundamental, the basics: posture, embrace and walk. You might be surprised to see how many have not learned the basics at all.)

Dancing in the milonga
I rarely watch tango performances. I love watching maestro(a)s dancing in the milongas though. Sometimes one could be surprised how different they dance in demo and in the milonga. Had seen Cecilia Garcia dancing in the milonga with Pablo Villarraza at Chicago Tango festival, I was inspired to take a private lesson with her when I had the chance. That lesson was a part of the turning point for my dancing.
Here is a great couple, whose performances have been often breathtaking, danced in the milonga (probably warming up for the performance). And it is inspiring to watch.
