~ Square Tango ~
Phase 3 Argentine Tango Record No. TG3A03
CUE SHEET is at bottom of this page.
This dance is popular in the United Kingdom as a Sequence Dance (no cues).
Examples of it as a Sequence Dance are displayed here. Since a Sequence Dance is
memorized, it can be performed to any appropriate music.
As a Round Dance, it is performed to cues. The cued recording is in the
JUKEBOX lower on this page (prior to the Cue Sheet).
This is ARGENTINE TANGO, not American Tango.
It does not require heel leads, head facing left, distancing frame, etc.;
but usually maintains a CLOSED Position.
