[Tango-L] Directional notation

[John Ward]

Suppose you treated the couple as a boat, with the outstretched arms
(leader's left, follower's right) as the prow? Then, assuming the leader is
facing the line of dance, "ahead" would be towards the centre of the room,
"astern" to the wall, "port" along the line of dance, and on this particular
occasion "starboard" would be forbidden.
