A characterisstic of Argentine Tango is that it allows you to dance as you wish
with respect to speed or timing, to make an interpretation of the music and
your feelings. So you may dance slowly, faster, in between or pause as it is
required by your feelings and the music.
It is convenient to use the tango terminology that is used by most people in
Argentina and all over the world in order not to create anarchy in our tango
vocabulary,such as exists in other fields of knwledge like chemistry for
instance where in some countries fuel for your car is called gasoline, and
bencine or nafta in others, etc. In Argentina car fuel is Naphta and Bencina is
something else close to cigarette lighter fluid.
So to use your terminology a "regular" walk (stepping every third beat, every
three negras) is called single time walking (caminar a tiempo) and when you
step faster like in a corrida (you step twice in the time that you normally
would have stepped once, one negra plus one corchea) this is called double time
(doble tiempo).
