[Tango-L] Beginners and milongas

[Keith]

What's the point of replacing one 'basic figure' with another basic figure? 
Especially as the 6CB incudes the worst elements of the 8CB, i.e. the back 
step and the Resolution. I think the only common ground so far in this 
discussion is that there should be no such thing as a basic figure in 
Tango.
