[Tango-L] Speed of movement around milonga's floor

[NANCY]

In some very traditional milongas in Buenos Aires, it
is considered very bad form to pass anyone in your
'lane'.  Unfortunately, that means if you are behind
some leader who constantly steps back into your
follower's ankle, that continues to happen until the
following leader either puts out his right hand to
stop the guy or gives him a calculated elbow shot. It
also means that if you were behind Gavito, you would
only move the space of one table. 

Someone wrote recently that he had 'only' collided
three times. Shouldn't you have learned with the first
collision that your floorcraft was sorely lacking and
limited your dancing to smaller, more contained
movements?  Protection of the follower should be
paramount. 

In my fifth week of dancing in BAs this year and I
have never been bumped.
