And you are relying on your partner anticipating that it's a first move so that your lead can stop before it reaches the lady's far hip.

I do the leg sweep sometimes (ronde?), but only when I push the lady out and release the left hand. I don't think it can be done by actually leading a true first move properly.
I think you mean 'subjective' - a matter of opinion. Yes. But I don't think your technical, or objective, issues with the first move have much merit.

If you want to see the ronde done without releasing the left hand, ask me next time you're in London and I'll show you!
