Although I would not attempt it my self, I have observed excellent and considerate nuevo dancers execute volcadas in no more space than I require for a puente. I watched last week while a nuevo follow executed a low linear back boleo in less space than my usual partner requires for her ocho-cortado. Etc. As far as I can tell, bad ronda behavior is not required by nuevo tango. And when they do go a little crazy, the good nuevo dancers that I have seen appear to do it in the middle of the floor, and not by a surprise pass on my outside as some of my fellow close embrace dancers are wont to do. Bumping and kicking is just plain rude, and I fail to see it as a one of the requirements for dancing nuevo tango. I might be wrong, but I don't think so. Cheers, D.
