LINE DANCE ETIQUETTE

A LIST OF USEFUL DANCEFLOOR 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 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


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


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 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 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 :-)
