  In close embrace lead is not obvious, but in Dani's video you can see he 
stubbornly retains his shoulder position (as if he was directly in front of her) 
while walking on the right of women preventing the cross.
  I guess leaders from opposing 'lead or not to lead cross' camps do the 
exactly the same thing...IMO...may be some exagarate the "lead" a bit more.>>>

I lead it and sometimes I don't lead it, so I am from both camps, but one way 
of preventing the follower from crossing is fairly simple and does not have 
to involve the upper body at all. I use my left foot to touch and slightly 
displace her left so that it cannot cross in front of the right, but passes it and 
keeps on walking in a straight line. Not so simple to explain but a very 
simple and useful step when in doubt, or otherwise.
