Without pointing any fingers, I am disturbed on how much some people have utter disregard of others on the dance floor. Yes, I have been guilty in many of the collisions that happen at milongas. And yes, sometimes I do tend to get creative on the dance floor. But there's a line beyond which whatever is being danced ceases being tango. In my opinion, dips are way beyond this line. Seriously? Come on... this is tango, not latin/ballroom/lindy-hop/whatever it is you used to dance before you started trying out tango. Besides, it doesn't even look that good. Maybe... just maybe, if it is executed well such that it fits the dramatism of the music, it's acceptable for stage performances. But no, some people do it right there on the dance floor, putting in danger the physical integrity of the partner and others around. Don't do this! It's a milonga, not a dance contest. Don't dance for others to look good, nobody gives a damn. Dance for yourselves. In other words, don't do dips... please.
End of rant
