I agree; this explanation is good. But I'd be surprised if there's anyone on this forum, at least, those who dance in close embrace, who isn't familiar with this figure.
I might be wrong but I think it might be the most common turn used in the milongas of Buenos Aires. The only criticism I might have is that I don't like the QQS count; I prefer the 1,2,3[,4] count. The figure should start on the first beat of a bar, whereas QQS might imply that it could start on 3. Maybe I'm just being pedantic, but I've never had a teacher in BsAs who counted QQS; it's always 1,2,3. I agree with the demonstrators that it's better to think of this as 2 separate half-turns.
