Wouldn't it be wonderful for social dancing in tango communities if more teachers taught their students the skills required for compact dancing.
Some people tend towards extravagant movements during a milonga, perhaps inspired by the latest flashy performance spotted on Youtube. Trouble is, they seem to forget that they're not on a stage! Whether they have the requisite skills for those flamboyant movements is another story altogether. The unfortunate result can resemble a dodgem-car.
Thanks Jantango for sharing these video clips of "dancing on a tile".
