In rueda, dile que no is a basic figure, called in certain settings.
One implication of dile que no, is that it leads to the basic steps in open position, guapea (unless a new call is issued). So if it is called from closed position, it ends up in open position. The same is the case in ábaco.
The footwork in this ábaco figure is often called “a lo cubano”. Note the long step on beat 2. The footwork is essentially the same as guapea, but with more movement, especially on beat 2.
