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?"
