    Labanotation, and the symbols represent the followers position in a cruzada, the closing form after an ocho cortado.

    I believe that the notation represent the different rhythms that we hear and dance when we go to Milongas
    Tangos, Vals, Milongas

    The first notation make me think of Milonga because when you start dancing Milonga you start with the right front step, left front step and then you go Quick, Quick, Slow (the legato symbol also make think of this because legato mean to hold that note until the next note) according to music classes that I have taken in College.

    Then come Tango Rhythm that is played in 4/4 and then Vals that that is played in 3/4

    Taking the embrace – the instructions cover stepping up with shoulders centered over the pelvis, raising left arm, then rotating left wrist, then placing right hand on follower’s back.

    Pretty good decoder here – but doesn’t match 100%. Laban notation, a.k.a. labanotation

      As others have noted, this code is Labanotation. You’re description of what it’s depicting, however, is not correct

    I might be wrong and I am I have two theories of what the notation represent, but I am going to go with my first theory the notation represent dancing in parallel system and then going into cross system.

    I have learned a new Word & Meaning, “Laban Notation”. But the Brain is the most important thing in social dancing, including Tango, as it enables Movement, with a Partner, to Music or Rhythm.

    This is Laban notation or Labán oration. The symbols represent choreography. It is used to document ballet and other dance forms.

        Labanotation, and the symbols represent the follows body shape in closed position with their left hand in their leads shoulders and their right palm connected to their leads palm. Also, their head is positioned facing slightly to the right and their left foot is crossed in front of their right foot (maybe they’ve just finished an ocho cortado?)

          Clay, perhaps the winner guessed correctly. But, how can you know what the symbols mean w/o a key to the symbols? “It`s Greek to me”.
