| Re: Stepping back safely
I don't think that it's possible to stop the unfortunate occasional collision. If it's crowded, no matter how careful you are, sometimes it's going to happen. However, there are several types of behaviour that I think are unacceptable on a crowded dancefloor.....
1. People who do 'walking' moves without looking where they are going - especially backwards, or fast travelling triple-step moves.
2. People who do dips/drops/aerials without regard for the people around them.
3. People who stand on crowded dancefloors, talking
4. People who walk onto dancefloors, about to start dancing, without looking where they are going - especially the ones who walk on backwards!!
If it is crowded, please try to keep it small - small movements, small moves. You can dance in a very small space if you actually think about what you are doing. Unfortunately, there are lots of people who don't appear to be able to think about it... Or have no regard for other people...
