A challenge: I am thinking of a very lovely and elegant step X, neither a cruzada nor a front cross, so that: Front cross <== change A ==> step X <== change B ==> cruzada AND Step X can be easily substituted for the cruzada in the 8CB Describe step X, describe change A that creates the variation between the front cross from the open step and step X, describe change B that creates the variation between the cruzada and step X, and finally compare and contrast change A and change B. A clue: Susanna Miller taught step X during her tour in the US 2 summers ago with Maria Plazaola. (Which is why Susanna is never a waste of time for me; she brings stuff that I find really thought provoking when I compare it to what I already know).
