Etiquette

A LIST OF USEFUL DANCE FLOOR TIPS

• Never come onto the dance floor carrying drinks, glasses, or cans
• Never stay on the floor to talk - if the music has started, go off the dance floor to chat
• When dancing near beginners - be mindful and courteous!
• Don't start a different dance, unless there is plenty of room and you sense it is acceptable
• Remember the floor is for everyone. Try to leave the outside lane clear for couple dancers
• If the floor is crowded, take small steps, enjoy the company, but watch for collisions
• If you should bump into someone, it is customary to apologize whether it is your fault or not
• If possible start another line rather than join one which will block the outside lanes
• Don't be tempted to stop dancing to teach, especially if there is no room.
• Never walk through a line of dancers to cross the floor - always walk round the floor or wait
• Remember everyone was once a beginner; if you can already dance do try to be helpful to newcomers
• When starting off the dance, go to the front so that others can fall in behind you
• And finally, keep your head up, keep smiling and enjoy yourselves :-)
