[Tango-L] Giros

[Deby Novitz]

I will make sure to tell all the teachers here in Buenos Aires they 
should not be teaching only giros, that they should be teaching women 
molinetes.  Oh yes, and then they should probably teach the 8 count 
basic too.

You can call your steps whatever you want in your community.  I could 
care less.  But here in Buenos Aires they teach giros.  Plain and 
simple.  The word giro comes from the verb girar which means to turn.  
Giros are turns.  The teachers here do not get wrapped in in over 
analyzing, tagging names, numbers, and formulas for teaching.  They 
simply teach - the caminata (the walk) ochos, and giros.  This is the 
basis of all tango, along with postura (posture) equilibrio (balance) 
and equis. (axis) Unless of course you prefer to take from someone who 
is teaching you patterns then you can have all sorts of fancy names for 
your money.
