This is true aspect. If the bump comes unexpected, there is a high
probability that it is your fault. You should allways know where the
other couples around (even behind) you are and what they are gooing to
do next. Beginners and experienced dancers are predictable,
intermediates are not allways, so you have to keep a larger "safety
space" to them.
Knowing what happens behind you is not physical nonsense, maybe it is
zen, or just as simple as turning from time to time, even a proper led
ocho gives you about 340deg of sight.
