No, you are not alone. A lot of men do this, and let me tell you, the 
further left you go, the more uncomfortable it gets for the woman. 
Especially if you turn the right side of her body at an angle to you. It 
means, she has to walk while constantly having her back twisted into an 
unnatural angle. Lasrt time I danced with a Japanese tango teacher who took 
this to such an extreme that he looked like he would have almost prefered to 
dance behind me. Why do guys do this?
