[Tango-L] Change of direction III - The cross who invented it ?

[Sergio Vandekier]

Somebody asked not too long ago,   who had invented the cross.   

>From the point of view of change of direction one can imagine that steps #3, #4 and #5 of the base are part of a turn to the left that 
is done in a straight line.  (Remember that in a left turn the woman crosses front or back with her left leg and opens with her right one).

Step #3: the woman crosses back with left.

Step #4: the woman opens with right.

Step #5: the woman crosses front with left.

The occurrence of the cross in this way has then a ligical explanation and probably came to happen in a natural way.

On the other hand : some people dance without crossing. Have you ever tried?

Best regards, Sergio
