[Tango-L] Rock step

[Sergio Vandekier]

The "rock step" is normally used to turn left; it can be used in other ways 
as well.

Some old milngueros may call it "Gardelitos". The name rock step comes from 
ballroom dancing where it is used in the same way.

The turn using  "Gardelitos" (rock step) imay be as follows:

You walk the lady to step #4 of the base.  Here the lady has her feet 
aligned rt. back and left front. Your feet are aligned Lt. front rt. back.

In this position you bring the lady even closer to your chest and start 
rocking between the two feet,
moving slightly to rotate to your left.

This step is used mostly in Canyengue style and also in Milonga but can also 
be used in tango.

It is a very simple way to turn but it has to be done with certain presence, 
demeanor and personality.

Regards, Sergio
