[Tango-L] A Troublesome Lead

[Keith]

 There's one lead that I always find troublesome and generally avoid. It's LF side, 
lady RF side and then, without a pause, lead the lady into a LF Front Cross in 
front of me. The reasons I find it troublesome are:

1. I feel that it results in a break in the connection; and
2. I feel that it needs a lead with the right arm, which I generally don't like to do.

The reason I raise the subject now is that I was watching an excellent video of 
Alberto Dassieu that was posted by Mario.

Alberto gives this lead 4 times during the dance at 0.39, 1.06, 1.17 and 2.40. 
On 2 ocassions he does it without moving his RF and the other 2 he steps forward, 
with the lady, with his RF.

Do others who dance in close embrace lead this step and, if so, how do you resolve
the problems I have? I emphasise that the lead is without a pause. I have no trouble 
leading the lady to step in front of me with her LF if I pause after my RF side and 
LF close.
