Sorin ,
I think I know what you are talking about, as I have seen (and have been the
recipient of) it a number of times while in BsAs. I have never seen Tete
changing roles within the dance.
What Tete *will *occasionally do (and what I suspect you were witnessing) is
change the arm positions. With him, everything comes from the chest -
*his*chest. The position of his arms is irrelevant - he can have his
right arm or
his left across the lady's back - it doesn't matter, as it in no way affects
the lead.
