LOL, I agree, Michael. However, I am afraid that now you may have 
spoiled Mario's delight in having found a solution how not to keep 
stepping on his partner's feet. Nope, walking in the outside parallel 
position at all times is not how this is corrected. ; ) It may help to 
take classes occasionally and learn more about connection and leading, 
something that remains fairly invisible in youtube videos...
