This is an interesting and helpful (for the lead) factoid that I picked up from a couple websites devoted to tango it's called 'shooting the feet' or 'walking on cobble stones.' Here's a good example with the performance dance of Jorge Firpo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_86QW0UjIg Note that there is no lackadaisacal walking in this dance..no loosly taking a step but rather a strong marking of the step...I could show videos of the opposite of this but it would be unfair 'cause the dancers are usually beginners. Of course we are talking about traditional Argentine tango dancing here.
