Hola Oleh,

Thank you for your posting. I totally agree with the "2 count basic"
concept.

Walking, the essence of tango, is the basic step. Every dancer I know of in
11 years experience who has been taught a combination of figures as a "basic"
has struggled and become frustrated. How could they (we) not? Without
skills in partnering, frame, axis, balance, musicality, etc. anything beyond a
walking step is ludicrous. Been there, done that. Why would anything other than
walking be considered "basic?"
