I think these are Cortes I was talking about:
>A thing which I call "paso cortado" and I am looking a popular name for is
mostly done in double time, it is only one forth-back,  and it is done
without weight transform. It is not a figure by itself, but a part of many
figures mostly in close, but also in open embrace.<

The same thing might be called "Picque", "Rock step", "Checked step"

One meaning for Pique:

Paso Pique (Pique Step) 

Pique: to sink in (as sink in with your body)
