[Tango-L] Denver Festival: Day 4 (with video)

[ceverett@ceverett.com]

Keith,

Since that video presents the point of view of someone walking 
around the main floor faster than any couple could walk down 
the line of dance, it's easy to form a false impression.

I just flew back in from Denver.  I can categorically state 
there were only occasional minor problems progressing down 
the LOD.  90% of the time, there weren't large gaps in the 
LOD, which brought up the secondary problem of leads navigating 
a bit too close to the couple ahead when they didn't need to.
