The title of this thread is correct and descriptive.
 
It is very simple, when the floor is crowded, it does not matter what tango style you dance you have to keep your dancing very compact,adjust to the circumstances,  follow the line of dancing and, above all, you should not disturb the other dancers *ever*.
 
If you like to dance in any other way, you have to create the circumstances where that form of dancing is possible.  You need more space.In another place.
 
You need  a practica after your usual lesson or at a specified place and time  where dancing in a way that requires more space is possible.
 
If you go to a milonga where the floor is crowded, you either dance in a compact way, small steps, walks, little turns, a few ochos or sit down till the crowd clears the floor (very late at night) and then you have more room to dance.
 
The obligation of the milonga organizer is to talk to anybody that disturbs the atmosphere of his milonga, to try to correct his behavior and when necessary ask him to leave the floor or the milonga all together.
 
The good tango instructor teaches how to navigate the floor and how to adjust the dancing to the available space.  Those that disturb the milongas as described (IMO) have had very poor instruction.
 
This should not come as a surprise when you have people that take a few tango lessons and start teaching tango.
 
There is no need to invent anything, all this codes where developed over 100 years ago.
 
Best regards, 
 
Sergio
