Tips

• Be sure they really transfer weight when they cross: explain free leg/standing leg
• Both partners hips should face each other at the cross
• Have the leader study the follower’s crossed legs, to see which leg to step with after the cross.
• Explain the cross is a default for the follower. The follower does it unless the leader interrupts.
