David,
A Change of Direction, as the term now seems to be commonly used, includes
a change in the direction of a Giro.
A LF Front Cross is part of a Giro to Left [CCW]. If you the lead the lady to a
RF
Back [Open] Step this is still part of a Giro to Left as is shown by the fact
that the
lady pivotted CCW. As the direction of the turn hasn't changed, it isn't a
Change of
Direction
In the example I gave - Left foot front cross to right foot back cross, the
pivot would
be to right [CW] and the direction of the turn changes from CCW to CW.
In this type of terminology, it really makes no difference whether the step is
a RF
Open Backstep and a RF Open Sidestep. They're both just a RF Open Step.
