If you search with correct spelling: Capussi, you'll find about 15 more, some spoof, some "real" :-)

Can someone give me a description of the first 13 steps taken by the lead
in this tango opening.
I'm looking for a clear way of looking at it and calling the relative positions
of the two dancers and the steps taken by the lead.
Perhaps, describing the follow's steps is necessary too.
I'm thinking that this is about as sophisticated as it gets in slow tango.
Also, would you call their embrace a closed one or 'V' or ? many thanks!

Mario,

First of all, thank you for posting this video of Noelia Hurtado & Pablo Rodriguez. It's absolutely
beautiful and a great example of the wonderful young dancers that Argentina continues to produce.
They dance so effortlessly, it's a joy to watch. God, I wish I were young again :-).

But your question, and the reply by Ming Mar raises the interesting question of how to describe,
or write down Tango steps. For simple figures, it's very easy to write down the man's and lady's
individual steps and examples of that method are given here:

https://www.tangohk.com/learn_tango_step_by_step_%20P1.htm

But, beyond beginner level, it becomes less useful - not to mention too time-consuming. The method
I use is to describe a sequence in terms of the basic elements of Walking, Front Cross, Back Cross
and Giros. So the beginning of the dance in the video, I might describe as follows:

1,2. LF side, RF close to change to crossed feet.
3,4. Walk O/P, left side. LF and RF.
5,6. LF close to change to parallel feet and RF fwd O/P right side.
7,8. Lady RF Back Cross, turning 180. Man follows with LF, RF fwd changing to crossed feet.
9. LF fwd.
10-14. Man's Giro to left - RF side, LF back, RF side, LF fwd and RF side.
15. Man replaces LF. Now facing original LOD.
During man's steps 10-15, the lady will do 4 Back Crosses, RF, LF, RF and LF.
Walk out in crossed feet, RF, O/P right side.

I hope this helps.

Keith, HK
