NTWE-2010, d2-s2-b (N+E): more basic patterns

A summary of Nora's Tango WeekEnd, day 2, session 2, beginner track.

Demonstration of more elaborate variations of the basic pattern.

The central demonstrated sequence goes as follows:
- First two steps as in the basic.
- The third step is a back ocho to the man's left.
- The fourth step is back ocho to the man's right, a stop, and a parada.
- Instead of stepping with the left foot right next to lady's foot, the man makes a step forward, and then drags her foot to his front, turning her body as well. The result should be a 90-degree turn.
- The same thing is repeated.
- The man executes a sandwich and steps back.
- After the lady steps over the man's foot, the man leads her into an immediate cross.
- Standard basic resolution.

If this is executed right, the man and the lady end up still facing the line of dance.
