Harris Tango
composed/written by: Paul Krechow & Trudy Harris, 1932
It is interesting to see how the roller versions of this dance have evolved over the years, from a set pattern, to border and back to set pattern; and how a flat step sequence has been incorporated, and how it has been the 'modified' version since the first edition of RSROA "Roller Skating Dance Testing 1938.
