How  to Defeat Kung Fu Tandas
Passive Aggressive Tanda a subtle way to defeat the  common nuisance of the 
aggressive “payaso”(clown).
It’s common knowledge that  the traditional tango dancer has studied for 
years the fine art of floor craft.  It’s also pretty much understood that the “
payasos” (clowns) have had very  little training in floor craft other then 
the crafty Kung Fu Tanda of invade and  conquer.   
The key to preventing the “payaso” from grabbing floor  space is as 
follows:

In step one when he stops the line of dance to bully  you into stopping 
your forward movement don’t stop, take two large forward steps  and lead your 
partner into a 100 MPH low boleo. This will disable his partner  and the 
floor will now open up to respectful dancing.

In step two when  the “payaso” stops to do big turning figures in order to 
retain floor space  simply use you’re leading skills to dance directly upon 
him and remain within  inches of him. He will try to get away from you but 
he hasn’t got the skill so  simply dance rings around him and he will get 
frustrated and leave the  floor.

In step three…..Oh Sorry there is no step three all we need is  two.
