Never come onto the
dance floor carrying drink, glasses, cans or lighted cigarettes. |
|
|
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 and don't show off. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Those dancing around
the outside lane have the right of way. Don't block their progress. |
|
|
When dancing around the
floor, the line of dance 'LOD' is anti-clockwise. Never against the LOD. |
|
|
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 apologise whether it is your fault or not. |
|
|
Should you accidentally
knock over someone's drink replace it immediately. |
|
|
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. Try to teach off
the floor if you can't find space. |
|
|
Never walk though a
line of dancers to cross the floor - always walk round the floor or
wait. |
|
|
Remember everyone was
once a beginner, if you can 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. |
