From: Phil Seyer <[email protected]> One instructor points out in one of his videos that it's safe for him to dance backwards into a certain space because he knows the space is available since he has just been there himself moments That might work in Buenos Aires where the milongueros study the dance floor, sometimes for hours, before they set foot on the pista and where they can count on all the other dancers following the line of dance and staying in their own lanes. I danced with a gentleman who took seven ( count 'em) quick steps backward, on a diagonal, into the center of the room without disturbing anyone. Anywhere else or in a milonga full of tourists doing their own thing with no regard for the flow of the room, it would be a disaster.
