Almost every man who has any sense of navigation in the US proceeds around the 
floor walking facing forward in the direction of the ronda, using turns when 
forward progression is no longer feasible. This is how we have all been taught - 
walk forward and turn if you can't walk forward anymore.. I have never met an 
instructor who has taught otherwise for tango, although I have met a rare few 
who teach a different (perhaps optional) mode of progression for milonga.

re the video

This is solid, basic technique and has been taught for years by Danel and Maria.  I teach this and so does anyone else who has studied with them over the years.  It is one of the fundamentals of classic social dancing.
