Although it serves as a linguistic convenience, technically there is
rarely a 'line of dance' in Buenos Aires milongas, in the sense that couples are
progressing in a linear manner, moving forward counterclockwise in
concentric rings around the floor
Ron the Urban Myth isn't a myth it’s a fact. Tango has always been danced
counterclockwise. The speed which it’s danced depends on how crowded the
floor happens to be but it's always forward. The number of forward steps you
take is determined by the crowd and it’s always counterclockwise. The very
nature of tango is moving forward turning when the opportunity presents
itself and then continuing forward especially in BsAs milongas. And Ron if
there is no LOD could you explain why every Tango is started with every leader
facing counterclockwise?
