I am having a problem with the concept of "Cross."
Is it loosely used?
Sometimes when it is used, the inside hand is used as in Cross and Turn and sometimes the outside hand is used as in Cross By. Perhaps after I get your book and explore all the uses, the confusion will be clarified.
Cross usually means one of the following:
- the opposite hand is used; (e.g., Cross Your Neighbor)
- dancers go past the center line; (e.g., Cross Run)
- someone goes across to the other side (e.g., <anything> & Cross);
- or, a Pass Thru is replaced with a Cross Trail Thru or a diagonal Pass Thru (i.e., Jaywalk);
or a Circulate is replaced with a Crossover Circulate.
"Cross" is not a well-defined concept.
The "Cross" of "Cross & Turn" is of hardly any significance.
