Bertil you say:   "I'm sorry but this video is a perfect example of no line of dance. Look at 
the video I posted of the BsAs milonga and you can see the entire room 
moving in unison in the line of dance. I've never seen nuevo danced at a 
traditional milonga without disrupting the floor."

 

Bertil I go to dance to Practica X from time to time, this is not a Traditional Milonga is a practica.  This means that the rules of the milonga do not apply.  There is freedom to practice, to dance in any direction, there are no tandas.

 

The important thing is that there is a lot of room so that everybody can practice and dance without disturbing anybody else.   

 

Despite of that dancers adjust their dancing to the available space  .

Early in the night there is more room and there is no line of dance, later on, as it gets fairly crowded there is a line of dance at the periphery and a slower moving center.

 

You may observe this in the videos that I provide.

 

La Rada in Mar del Plata is another place where I go from time to time. This is a small bar, despite of the little space everyone is able to dance without disturbing anyone else doing either nuevo, traditional or milonguero at the same time and following a line of dance.

 

Unfortunately I did not find a video of a regular milonga.
