and the "talking" doesn't have to be verbal, many are the times when my partner has applied that extra tension warning me not to go backwards.
I like the driving analogy, and talk of spatial awareness is easy, having it is more difficult. You are not frantically looking around all the time, but always checking the space that you are about to move your partner into. Taking the first move example, you check over your right shoulder before bringing her forward into that space (even though she is going forwards so can see the space). How big is this step back anyway? In a crowded venue I would try and keep it within my body space, my toes wouldn't be leaving the floor (well at least that's my intention).
