I like the way you can hand off from shadow to partner. That feels exciting.
What is the aesthetic consideration that leads you to choose a promenade across? My personal experience is that the line tends to tighten up, and it's hard to get across without bumping you neighbors. I think a R&L through doesn't have this problem, possibly because we're not traveling together. Sometimes, I convert it to a traveling swing in an especially tight line because at the moment of lining up with the larger line, my partner and I are oriented perpendicularly to it, which takes up less space up and down the hall. Not sure you could teach that. It requires precision.
