Is it true that most of the names for decorations and figures were  
invented or coined for the consumption of foreign students?  I notice  
that some of the naming conventions in the US are different from other  
places.  Is the language of export Tango changing with the 'export'  
styles?

1) Walking
2) Ocho Cortado
3) Molinete to the man's left
4) Molinete to the man's right
5) Back ocho
6) Boleo
Surely a Cruzada and possibly a Pasada. Also a Rebound or Rock-Step.
