Actually, your second statement doesn't 'prove' your first statement because you're simply repeating yourself. If there are only 3 steps in tango - forward cross, back cross, and open step then, obviously every step in tango is part of a Giro because a Giro is made up of only those 3 steps. But, suppose we're walking directly in-line in parallel feet - are the lady's backward steps back crosses or open steps - and which is which and why?
