Bob mentions a point that deserves emphasis. I too have often heard Argentine
instructors say something, in demonstrating a step, about starting from
position 2 or 3. They may not even teach the 8CB, but if they want to start a
demo with the leader's right foot forward in parallel, it's much more
convenient to just say "position 3." So while I disagree that the 8CB has any
value as a teaching device over
teaching based on fundamentals and improvisation, I agree it does have value as
a point of reference in describing foot positions.
