Re: Incorrect video , I believe

Hi Arkashad,

Believe it or not, that is the correct video. The term "Basic Reverse Turn" is perhaps a bit misleading, considering the fact that it is the least basic of all reverse turns in Tango, but then this has been the convention for decades. Perhaps it relates back to Viennese Waltz, where it is considered the most basic step.

It is not uncommon that two dances share some patterns in common. American style Waltz and Foxtrot share at least 50% of their patterns, and American style Viennese borrows quite a bit from -- would you believe -- the Samba. The challenge is to be able to convey the character of a dance in the interpretation and styling of your movement, so that one can differentiate between the same foot pattern in two different dances.
