Floor Etiquette
Following
dance floor etiquette helps everyone
to have fun. Basically, just be courteous
and respectful of others around you:
Look where you are going, and be prepared
for the unexpected. If you bump into
someone, smile and apologize. If someone
bumps into you, smile and apologize.
If you find yourself apologizing all
the time, maybe the problem isn’t
just everybody else. If you find yourself
smiling all the time, well, good. If
you are not dancing, don’t stand
on the dance floor. Stand close to the
wall so we don’t experience the
incredible shrinking dance floor. Also,
don’t carry drinks onto the dance
floor. Report spills immediately or
clean it up yourself! Finally, there
is no excuse for “road rage”
on the dance floor. If you see someone
breaking the rules, let it go. Maybe
he isn’t aware of the rules, maybe
she’s trying her best, but it’s
unlikely he really is a jerk who simply
enjoys getting in your way. We all make
mistakes. Getting angry isn’t
going to solve anything. Smile, and
apologize. Leaders are responsible for
protecting their partners. Followers
help them out if you see trouble coming.
(Remember, it’s not always the
leader’s fault.) We are all learning!
Take responsibility for your own dancing.
Dancing
isn't sex; Teachers dance both lead and follow regardless
of gender so give the beginner same sex social dancers
a break. The best way to learn a dance well is to
learn the other part. Just ‘cause a person
of the same sex asks you to dance doesn't mean they're
hitting on you. But, if they do, respectfully set
them 'straight' with a smile. And if you didn't
already know this is a Gay run event. So, keep it
Gay friendly!
