Re: [TANGO-L] Tango Dialects

[Daniel Lapadula <clubstyletango @YAHOO.COM>]

The cross..(fift position or colecting in front )in
the female role is a learned step.And , as learned
,there is not lead for it.She will execute it
following the normal way to do the 8 count basic.
In tango,the man does not walk outside the female more
than 1 step forward.The number 3,if you need to dance
counting will be toward your partner and giving extra
space from your chess to allow her to colect in cross.
My regards.
Daniel
