The Baldosa Box is a term that is used, usually, to describe a very specific pattern of steps that is used primarily to dancing Milonga, but can also be used in Tango and Vals as well. The term ‘Baldosa‘ comes from a very specific type of Ceramic Tile. The tile is usually placed in either 2 or 3 colored tiles and then checkered, something similar to this idea:
The Baldosa Pattern goes like this:
