[Tango-L] Line of Dance

[Dubravko Kakarigi]

Thank you for pointing this out. When people know how to dance, strictly 
following line of dance rule is meaningless, because you end up dancing with 
other pairs on the floor co-creating a symbiotic dance of the whole group - 
that's when the whole new horizon of dancing opens up.
