  I was taught to cross in pods with a leader in the center of each pod.
This to me equates to the diamond formation but with a center "person in
charge" per group. A club member likes to have us cross in line abreast like
soldiers sweeping a field but it never works.  Too much left and right to
communicate across.We always end up in two lines and they are very ragged.
