Re: [Tango-L] YouTube Digest of Vals

[Keith <keith@tangohk.com>]

I think we all know that Tango Vals music is based on the Viennese Waltz and, in fact, it's quite easy to dance 
a Viennese Waltz to Tango Vals music, but at a quicker tempo - stepping on each of the 3 beats.

There was a recent thread of Ballroom figures in Tango and what I find interesting in the video of Tete is that, 
at 2.12 minutes, he actually dances the 6-step Reverse Turn of the Viennese Waltz except for the final closing 
step.

It's LF fwd, RF side, LF cross in front, RF back, LF side. He doesn't do the final LF close. Makes me wonder 
if Tete actually dances any Ballroom.
