[Tango-L] Abusing the available space

[Tango22]

Shahrukh says:-

There is just -
- SO MUCH bad navigation and inconsiderate dancing going on in  
Milongas, with
- SO LITTLE being done about it by the teachers (and perhaps, as
Sandhill posits, the teachers' teachers), and
- SO LITTLE realization by those making the infractions that that's  
what they are dong (most are, I am sure, polite and considerate  
people, so they are surely not being inconsiderate intentionally)
- SO MUCH emphasis on the teaching of steps, figures and techniques  
that consume space, rather than those that conserve space, hence  
exacerbating the problem

To be fair, it's not a problem that is begging to be solved in most
communities outside Buenos Aires..............................

In my experience, it is a problem everywhere Sharhrukh.  An enjoyable  
evening will quickly turn cold for me when couples are travelling in  
the wrong direction,  colliding because they are not looking where  
they are going, kicking other couples, dancing inappropriately to the  
music (eg., during Poema, couples whizzing past like whirling  
dervishes).  It is always a reflection of poor teaching.  Teachers  
absolutely MUST take responsibility for teaching responsible behaviour  
and etiquette at the social dance.
