No step backward - EasyTango

Milonga Tip

Avoid the step backward (on the '1' of the paso basico). Just do a small step with the right foot (for the leader) that stays on the same place
Do not do a back-step against line of dance.
Do not move in a direction you cannot see.
If you learned the "8-Count Basic with Dreaded Backstep" (aka paso basico) un-learn it because it does NOT work on a social dance floor.
If the person in front of you suddenly steps backward, put up your hand to keep them from smashing their heel onto your partner's achilles tendon.
