I just said it's the Golden Rule because even *that* rule is trampled on with both feet often enough...and everything starts (but does not end) with that. Obviously, that rule is completely ignorant of such a thing as a ronda, so it's not the end all and be all of things.

And that's a shared responsibility. Civility is everything, just like when two people converge on a door. And another part is making sure that even if you are sure no one is going to fill that space, that you aren't distubring the ronda (either by pushing people into the spaces of yet other dancers, or by creating traffic jams). One step at a time. If people bump into other people (often, I pause or take microsteps to observe where to go, only to have someone just bulldoze over me because I am "in the way" of the end of his twenty four count pattern #23), you can't expect these people to be mindful of the later parts of the navigation skill set. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
