[David Hodgson]

Of course if you like the partner your dancing with you can also "Magickly"
finish exactly the furthest point away from where the Follow's chair was.

>From what I observed in Argentina, many of the leaders who are in the outer
circle know the songs so well that they can plan things to end their tanda
at precisely the same place where they started. Hence very little escorting
is required. The woman's seat is right there where they started, which of
course assumes that they have walked up to the woman's seat to start the
tanda - a requirement of the cabaceo.

I think walking the follower to the edge of the floor (not necessarily all
the way back to their seat) is a minimum courtesy and I have not had any bad
feedback on it in Australia.
