In the English repertoire, in Freeford Gardens and really most any dance
that has people leading out to the side of the set there is the opportunity
to loop around folks in the next set. Similarly, in progressive squares
such as grapevine twist when I'm in the couple that's last in a figure,
I'll invite my partner to momentarily join another set at the end of the
line so we're in action somewhere. All these are examples of ad lib
choreography, rather than something intended by the author, except in the
larger sense that the author intended dancers to play and have fun.

When a couple moves ACROSS the lines, I call that 'transgression'. Not
counting four face fours (aka mescolanzas, double countras) I know of three
dances that 'transgress' in some form or another:
- Out of Bounds*, Will Mentor
- Becket's Crossing, Chris Kermiet
- New and Improved, Super Ultra Snake Oil #9* (seth's riff from) Roger
Diggle
What others are out there?

*Technically these are 'minor' transgressions since they only go over to
the other line and then come back. Still, they are 'crossing the line'!
