Giro

First a little Spanish lesson: ‘Giro’ is the first person singular of the verb ‘girar’, and means ‘I turn’. This word is pronounced > ‘Heeroh’. In tango, the Giro is the Lead’s matching side of the Follower’s Molinete. The Lead is the center of the circle and acts as the anchor, while the Follower revolves around them. The Molinete and Giro is the staple turn of modern Argentine Tango.
