Using Carol's definition of "cross-foot dancing" Viennese Waltz has a cross just like AT. The man turns to his left on his left, steps back on his right and crosses with his left in front. There isn't a stop as he keeps turning. If Jay means cross-foot as in dancing on cross feet, ballroom DOES have cross foot figures. In Foxtrot and Slow Waltz, there is shadow spirals figure. In Samba, there is Shadow voltas figure. As a general rule, shadow positions are on cross feet because the woman is in front of the man.
