| Dance floor etiquette is very important, all it takes is a bit of common sense, goodwill and co-operation. You should be courteous to all other dancers and show consideration at all times |
| Always�� Listen to your DJ. The DJ will call the dance and count in, if there is a split floor (i.e. several dances been danced to the same track) the DJ should tell you where each dance is being danced. Encourage and support any beginners. Go to the front when starting off a dance, others can the line up behind you. Be gracious and apologetic when caught in a �bump�, even if it wasn�t you fault (keep the peace!). Replace any drinks you may of accidentally knocked over and apologise. Leave the outside edge of the floor clear for partner and couple dancers, they have right of way. Keep children well behaved, be considerate to others. Keep the noise levels down when instruction or announcements are taking place. |
| Never�� Wear high heeled shoes/stilettos or trainers, they can be very dangerous to yourself and other dancers around you. Carry food, drinks, glasses, cans, or lighted cigarettes onto the dance floor. Stand on the floor to talk. If music is playing go off the dance floor to chat, never cause an obstruction! Walk through a line of dancers to cross the floor, always walk around or wait. Start a different dance unless there is plenty of room. Let your feet, knees, arms or elbows become dangerous weapons on the dance floor. Show off. Crazed variations, turbo spins, high kicks and jumps, just puts people off! |
