Notes
Backward Walk
The LF and RF Rocks are the only Tango figure in the Ballroom Technique by Alex Moore to feature the Walk back on LF listed in the Precedes and Follows. As discussed on the Tango Walks page, this only complicates an already ambiguous figure.

Exit Forwards
Guy Howard's The Tango and Basic Principles allows the RF Rocks to exit forwards, into a Four Step. For the sake of consistency, we have also created a tile for the LF Rocks to exit forward.
