The move Siete Complicado is most likely made by Gianfranco Bighi (Italy). This maestro of a dance instructor has many good videos in the classic Miami style.

The Siete/Panqué move, Panqué tres tiempos (“Pancake three steps”), is a move I have experienced in Rueda de Casino many times with different callers, and they use different names for the move.
