[Tango-L] Who invented the basic step?

[Keith]

I doubt very much that any one person could take credit for inventing the basic step. 
IMO it's far more likely that a 7-step figure existed and somebody added the 8th step - 
probably the man's back step. And, before that, a 6-step figure existed and somebody 
added the 7th step - probably step 2 or 8. And so on with one step being added at a 
time. It could even be that 8 people invented the basic step :-). A more interesting
question would be ... who invented the Cruzada.
