Hola listeros!
Seeing that I'll be getting hit with another big snowfall on top of 20 inches
here, I thought'd I'd spend my snowed in time on Tango-L. Here's my question.
I've heard from a couple of people that there's a big difference in the speed
at which people travel on the dance floors in BsAs versus the crowded festivals
in the U.S. Basically, in the U.S., the LOD slows to a crawl. In BsAs,
however, the LOD continues at its usual pace, even if it's heavily packed. One
reason why this is that in the U.S. leaders tend to wait for the person ahead
of them to move before they go into the space. In BsAs, people just dance
along. One leader described it as being pulled along.
This brings up a question of how do we change things in the U.S. to encourage a
moving floor, even if it's crowded? Obviously, this would need to start a
local level. Your thoughts?
