[Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

[Maia McCormick]

Yep, Alex, I totally agree on the point of promenade (or RL thru, or
ladies' chain) > circle L not flowing great! So I'm amending my original
criteria: *dances with a promenade, no chain or RL thru, and promenade is
NOT followed by a circle L*.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks :D
