According to one veteran, Mingo Pugliese, there is no such as a basic in tango. All major steps, he says, from the basic. We know what he means: unlike a dance with just one or two moves, the figures of tango combine and recombine like a furious kaleidoscope.
The tango does have a starting point, the salida, literally a stage entrance. The salida begins with a walk and ends with the man bringing his feet together while the woman crosses left over right. This opening moment can recur many times, string together like pearls further moments of the dance.
Before beginning the salida, in zero position, the couples stands quietly, taking up the embrace of the tango. Then comes the first move, the man opening up with a step to the side (paso de costado) with his left foot: uno afuera (step one [with the left] to the side), Lampazo called it.
