I understand why David says what he does, but I see it a little differently. As I see it, the beginning of her cross following her side step right is led with the same torso rotation required for a forward ocho and the space created between his left side and her right side that he creates by stepping side left a little away from her. His closure of the space rotates her about her right leg axis and creates the cross from what might otherwise become a forward ocho. His arm (and by extension only) and his hand complete the movement with her, but I don't see a much force in his arm or hand. It is rotation and the creation and elimination of space that leads the movements.
