Thanks for all your answers!
Especially I loved Mel's. Very useful indeed !

I was talking about this:

It can be called "Rock step", but I see a subtle difference in technique.
Besides, that does not sound like Tango.

I propose to call it "Paso Cortado" in analogy with "Ocho Cortado".

Objections?
