He also sometimes teaches men a method of turning where they tuck one leg behind the other, put their weight on it, then just unwrap themselves. (I can't do that, personally!) Do any other men do this?

I was taught this in Jazz Jive, and I really recommend it. One place I use it routinely is the man's half turn in the pretzel - getting all those arms in the right place can be tricky: a crossed-leg spin is normally fast enough to get back on the beat. It's also nice for adding a male spin to moves like the Cerocspin. I'm guessing that followers can't do this one, though, because you need to know in advance that you're going to spin on the next beat so you can cross your legs.
