[Tango-L] I don't know but...

[Jack Dylan]

I agree; this explanation is good. But I'd be surprised if there's anyone on 
this forum,
at least, those who dance in close embrace, who isn't familiar with this figure. 

I might be wrong but I think it might be the most common turn used in the 
milongas
of Buenos Aires. 

The only criticism I might have is that I don't like the QQS count; I prefer the 
1,2,3[,4]
count. The figure should start on the first beat of a bar, whereas QQS might 
imply that
it could start on 3. Maybe I'm just being pedantic, but I've never had a teacher 
in BsAs
who counted QQS; it's always 1,2,3.

I agree with the demonstrators that it's better to think of this as 2 separate 
half-turns.
