There's one lead that I always find troublesome and generally avoid. It's LF side, lady RF side and then, without a pause, lead the lady into a LF Front Cross in front of me. The reasons I find it troublesome are:
1. I feel that it results in a break in the connection; and 2. I feel that it needs a lead with the right arm, which I generally don't like to do. The reason I raise the subject now is that I was watching an excellent video of Alberto Dassieu that was posted by Mario. http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=VqgujDIWlOc Alberto gives this lead 4 times during the dance at 0.39, 1.06, 1.17 and 2.40. On 2 ocassions he does it without moving his RF and the other 2 he steps forward, with the lady, with his RF. Do others who dance in close embrace lead this step and, if so, how do you resolve the problems I have? I emphasise that the lead is without a pause. I have no trouble leading the lady to step in front of me with her LF if I pause after my RF side and LF close.
