I am focusing on the front crosses or front ochos however they are called in
close embrace.
Viz: Eduardo Masci and Maria are doing a lot of them here:

They are not easy but anyone having a suggestion or seeing a way to make it
happen...
It often feels to me that there is not enough room to do them in close
embrace.
At least it is difficult for me and my practise partner. I open a bit more
for her to do them.
The thing that has me curious is that I tried it one time with a different
partner and she did
it perfectly from a turn to the right side, ocho cortado style. I didn't feel
like I opened at all
but maybe I did.....I noticed that I hit a left forward step hard and
rebounded to my right and then a right side step hard and rebounded back
towards forward to end the turn to the right..the momentum was important, I
figured.
so, now I know that it can be done..I'm just asking for any of your thinking
on this topic. If I could add these turns to the right and left along with
the sweeping
reversals of the woman back in the original direction...wow, I'll be home!
