This is one of the things that I expected to cause problems - or at least
the opposite is.
What I mean by this is that (for example) ballroom dancing is much more 'structured' than MJ. Set movements go in set patterns on the floor and it's quite difficult to disrupt those patterns (it is possible, but it's difficult) so whereas MJ dancers can swap and change what they're doing to make floorcraft easier, ballroom dancers will find this much more difficult - and this is especially true if they're dancing a routien rather than freestyling their ballroom dance.
So ballroom dances are much more predictable in that (eg) if you are dancing a cha cha basic, it'll always be a cha cha basic and look like a cha cha basic and follow that pattern on the floor - whereas a (eg) first move can have many variations and can twist, turn, have different endings etc and therefore is much more versitile and so collisions from this move could be more easily avoided.
So I guess what I'm asking is: should MJ dancers at an MJ venue give people doing things such as ballroom the space they need to complete their moves safely
or should people doing dancing patterns that take up more room than those the majority of the people at the venue are doing give up their patterns and stop doing thier alternative dance forms at MJ venues?
