[Tango-L] What the heck is a Right foot front cross step?

[Chris, UK]

> These phrases don't make intuitive sense,

Well sure. If they did make intuitive sense, people wouldn't pay Gustavo 
Naveira to explain them.

> What about explaining just what a R/L foot open step is?

Gustavoese 'right foot open step' == English 'right side-step'.

The astute reader will have noticed that the side step is no more an 'open 
step' than it is a 'close step'. And that the Gustavoese alternative 
'cross step' is no less an open step than the so-called 'open step'.

This is key to understanding the success of Gustavo's 'system'. Natural 
selection favours the terminology that is sufficiently nonsensical to 
become disseminated simply by discussion amongst those attempting to make 
sense of it! ;)
