[Tango-L] back step & 8CB

a question...

i've been taught the 8CB by many instructors.  the piece that a few add, is your alignment to line of dance.

from what i've been taught, a tanda generally begins with the follower's back to the outside of the floor... or at least at a roughly 45 degree angle to line of dance.

if... this is correct... a single 'small' back step does not interfere with the couple behind you.

this angle also provides a better field of vision for the lead for both what is ahead and behind...

as with much of tango... sometimes the problem isn't what's happening now, it's what you did immediately prior that creates the issue...

hmmm... that didn't sound like a question... i guess i'm just looking looking for feedback...
