along later in tango history, maybe in the fifties, but the fundamentals of

tango step were in place years ago. "

Here is a dance clip with clear cross at 12 seconds.

The movie is Las Luces De Buenos Aires' (1931).
Also very nice grapevine at 18 seconds.

Overall very smooth musical dancing without discernible counting (six, eight
or others) .
