The French tango is thus described
by Louis II. Chaliff, New York vice
president of the American society Of
dancing masters: Properly danced,
the tango consists of four steps. The
first is a march step. This is followed
by the cortes and double cortes. COrtes

In dancing it denotes a short step.
The third step in the tango is el medic
