[Tango-L] Not leading vs.leading the cross (Floyd Baker)

[flame@2xtreme.net]

I've been reading the many posts regarding the cross and want to put in a 
few thoughts on the subject. I remember Orlando Paiva Jr. stating in classes 
that the woman always crosses after 2 outside steps on her right. It's a 
RULE in tango". I assume he learned this from his father. 
That said, as a follower, I can quickly pick up if a leader expects this or not 
and I adjust to those expectations. I prefer to be led to the cross or to do it 
myself if it feels right and it doesn't interrupt the flow of the dance.

my 2cents,
