- Basic Milonguero Combinations: Blending the Walk, Back Ochos, and the elements of the Milonguero Groove fluidly and musically.
- The Media Luna: Learn the most powerful Milonguero Turn to the Right and how it fits into the musical phrase.
- The Milonguero Dip: Learn to use the Cadencia/Milonguero Turn to the Left combination to set up a beautiful forward ocho from the cross, and again how this works with the music.
- Advanced Milonguero Combinations: Blending The Walk, Back Ochos, The Milonguero Groove, The Media Luna, and The Milonguero Dip into an excellent array of beautiful and musical Milonguero vocabulary.
