In high-level competitive dance, having a large volume or pronounced shape as a couple is essential. However, for other situations, I recommend keeping the shape more subtle.
Hi. Very nicely danced. About the hover cross. I dance this a lot. It starts with first 3 steps of a natural turn SQQ. This gives only one beat of music for the lady to make a nice head movement in the actual "cross" action. Mirko gozzoli does the first 3 steps as all quicks, allowing 2 beats for the lady's head movement. It looks much more interesting but of course, it departs from the technique book. The lady must perform the heel rurn on a qujck, but for rhis level, thats not a problem. I dance it the gozzoli way and my partner has no problem with the faster heel turn. If only i could dance it as well as gozzoli 😢 but its more interesting and we love it
