Michael,

Susana and I do some ballroom dancing in addition to tango. I know one
cha-cha move that is done in crossed-feet (kind of a media luna walk)
and I think there may be a few others in cha-cha that I've forgotten,
but I find it hard to remember any other crossed-feet patterns in the
dozen or so ballroom dances I've learned a bit of. Perhaps at the
advanced level - I don't know.
