Popular milongas can be very crowded and this prevents traveling or large moves. Additionally, moves such as off the floor boleos and ganchos may be banned because the follower’s heel flying around can cause injuries. Here are a couple of entertaining videos that show that even an extremely small space can be used. Enjoy.
- Ejercicios – Tango en una baldosa 5:58 by Nany Peralta. It’s about dancing on a baldosa (floor tile). It shows how you can actually dance tango in a very small space. It’s quite amazing really, even if they do step slightly off the tile occasionally.
- 2011 Seoul Tango Week Farewell Milonga 3:36 Here is another table dance, but the unspectacular moves are exactly what you see in a crowded milonga. The moves were mostly ocho cortados, rebotes, and small giros. Altho it’s on a table, it’s a useful illustration of small space tango moves.
- Murat and Michelle Erdemsel Dancing in a small space CHICAGO 2:23 Good illustration of dancing in a small space.
- Dancing tango on a small table 3:31 Another wacky demo of dancing in a small space. The penalty for stepping outside the bounds is not trivial.
