The musical stracture of tango has strong beats and weak beats. 1, 2, 3, 4... 1, 3, 5, 7 - will be strong while 2, 4, 6, 8 - weak. You can dance walking on strong beats only - 1, 3, 1, 3 or you can walk on the beat 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. When you are dancing in double time, you are also using the half beat inbetween the main beats: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 etc

Even this double time can have different structures:

1 & 2 (collect and pause during 3&4)

1 & 2 & 3 (collect and pause during 4)

and many others like

1,2,3,4,5 (pause)
