How do I tell off someone properly for stepping into my space when we are line dancing without offending them?

if your like me, closterphobic, it's not very confortable is it? it happens to me all the time, hun, trust me. body language says a lot so if your dancing and they start getting in your "bubble" then kind of make a small shooing notion with your hand, so that they can see it of course. but if that don't work, right when y'all are done dancing go up to them and ask them if you could have just a bit more space. then thank them, kindley.
luck.

"Excuse me, whould you mind leaving me a little more space?"
Or, without telling, dance in a very assertive way as if you are about to run them over if they don't give you the space. That really depends on the environment that you get to dance in.

maybe saying nothing. there are people out there that can't dance and are trying to learn. patience on your part might be very well appreciated.
also, you can't be certain someone isn't crowding them leaving them barging into your space. where there's dancing, there's alcohol. where there's alcohol, there's idiots. and where there's idiots there's always one that feels they need to speak up - hence, bar fights.
if it's really an issue for you - try moving away from the one that is prone to "invading your space."

to do it subtle accidentally bump into then apologize and then keep dancing ...they should move...if not ask them to move over a little bit if there is a space next to them

Without offending them, I suppose that you could always draw a new line - or even a line of demarcation ..........

You will know this with your experience. Which way is better. For that you have to try different techniques. Good luck
