Salon tango - the woman takes long back steps. Milonguero - the steps
are shorter and more together
Salon tango - wider giros - you must pull away from the man (the left
arm slides to the upper arm) to give your more space to move
Milonguero - the giros are closer together and can be half turns as well
Salon tango - fancier footwork along with caminata, giro, ocho
Milonguero - caminata, giro, ocho
Salon Tango-variations in the embrace although always close (No butts
sticking out)
Milonguero - no left arm of the woman hanging over the shoulder. No
butts sticking out

The two are actually almost identical the main difference being the
length of the steps and the footwork.
