If this involves, so to speak, only the "unwrapping" part of a boleo, you could also call it a simple enrosque. That's what I call it, anyway, when I lead these during back ochos by starting the pivot before the lady's leg has caught up. (To clarify: usually her free leg rides around "outside" her support during a pivot. If she's led to collect her free leg on the _other_ side, the "inside" of her support during a pivot, I call it an "enrosque." That, anyway, is what you can call it when the dude does it.)
(Perhaps a "behind" enrosque, as it travels behind the pivot.) Some people do these without a lead, during ochos, as an embellishment-- albeit they tend to be kicky rather than silky. That, however, takes all the fun out of it for me. In any case, ladies who cross automatically usually must undergo a small adjustment to make what Nancy speaks of (if I understand her right) available & expressive in their dance. And that adjustment amounts to, well, _not_ crossing automatically... To do what I speak of, they have to not _pivot_ automatically. And not collect automatically. Short version-- It gets more ticklish when you really follow.
