[Tango-L] Abusing the available space (reply pt.2)

[Michael]

I don't agree at all. I remember dancing with an elite NY dancer. She was 
stabbed in her ankle by a high boleo. We had to sit down she was in so much 
pain. But then, karma struck. The other woman didn't learn NOT to do high 
boleos from kicking my partner . With her next high boleo, she kicked our 
table. I'm happy to report that the table was unhurt. I can't say the same 
thing for the woman, who hobbled to her table (off beat!). Maybe our table 
taught her (and her leader) a valuable lesson. But somehow, I doubt it.
