The coolest and sexiest step in tango is the Milonguero Salida, aka
Salida de los 40.

It is a version of the crossed basic, with variations where the woman
pivots (or not) or crosses her left behind the right. I'm not sure if
it has other names.

It isn't all that difficult, certainly much easier than the open-
embrace molinete, but a lot of people have never seen it. Also, it is
a step that the woman pretty much needs to be shown. Unless she is a
super-sensitive follower, it is pretty hard to pick up just from lead-
follow; if she doesn't know it exists, she prevents it from working.
