Lesson
6 Proper Etiquette and Safety in the Use of
Facilities and Equipment in Dance

When working out in a gym it is important to observe the general rules of conduct to
ensure a positive experience for you as well as for others Individuals that subscribe to gym
facilities should be aware of the rules and etiquette. Each facility has its own list of rules.

What’s In
In the past you studied about the dehydration. Write the signs and symptoms of dehydration
for each picture in your pad paper.

What’s New

If facilities are cared and used well, they will have a longer shelf life.
Others will be able to benefit from their use. Conducting proper etiquette in
the use of facilities also ensures the safety of those who use them. The risks in using them are
minimized. Proper etiquette is also important because it implies good behavior, show respect
and consideration to others.

What is It
In this lesson dance fitness and training injuries can be prevented if an individual takes the
necessary preparations and precautions on the following variables.

Proper attire. The attire should be appropriate for the chosen activity. It is
important to consider comfort and protection when choosing appropriate attire. A
special attention should be given when choosing footwear because many chronic
injuries are caused by inappropriate shoes. A good pair of shoes will provide
stability, support, and cushion and comfort.
Proper Technique. An individual needs to consult a trainer and ask for proper
instruction in performing the chosen activity or exercise. The knowledge on how to
execute the movement is just as important as the movement. The benefit of the
exercise will be compromised if it is not performed with the correct technique. Ex.
Poor running mechanics can leads to patella femoral pain and plantar fasciitis.

Proper environmental conditions. It is advisable to check the environmental

conditions before the exercise session. It is possible that the area or the weather is
not conducive for the activity. The risk of getting sprained is higher when the
ground is uneven ( e.g. trail) compared to a running truck. The weather
condition should also be considered before training because it will lead to
heat exhaustion and stroke ( if it is too hot) or frostbite and hypothermia (
if it is cold). Appropriate attires must wear for every activity for protection
against weather conditions.
5. Gym Ettiquette. Etiquette refers to behaving in a socially responsible
way. 
1. Dress and cover your body appropriately. Avoid scanty clothing.
2. Always bring towel and use it. Use it to wipe down the equipment
before heading off to the next exercise or station.
3. Take care of the equipment. Do not drop the weights or let plates
slam down at the end of a set.
4. Clean up after you work out. Do not abandon the squat rack with
plates still on the bar. Equipment should put them back in the rack.
5. Avoid loud grunts. Loud grunts and yelling is not acceptable only
minimal grunting.
6. Respect others’ personal space. If someone is preparing for a major
lift, do not walk behind, in front, or anywhere close to them.
7. Share. Do not hog any of the equipment
8. Keep the music to yourself. When listening to music through your
earphones, keep from singing aloud.
9. Avoid using you cellphones during work out.
10.Offer to spot. When you see someone lifting without a partner, offer
to spot.
11.Check your ego at the door. Do not try to lift more than you can
handle
12.Wear anti- perspirant /deodorant. Exercising will make you sweat
and that can cause body odor.
13.Give way to others at the drinking fountain.
 14.Lead by example. if you see someone breaking the rules, ask them
politely to correct their behavior or report this the management or
any instructor/staff.
Gym Etiquette for Dancers
1.  A LITTLE CONSIDERATION PLEASE! 
As is normal at the turn of any New Year, with a slew of new resolutions being set
in intended stone, you'll notice a marked increased in the number of class
participants in the studio. So upon entering the studio after most other people
have taken their spots and floor space is limited, carefully and politely weave
your way to a logical space. The normal ebb and flow of a studio filled with
bodies should mean that you will be afforded space by your fellow gym rats. So,
always make sure you aren't blocking someone's view of the instructor from
where you've plonked yourself.  At the least, ask if the person behind you can see
OK.  In many cases, your fellow gym-goer will appreciate the thought and pass a
nod of approval over your spot choices. 
2. "DON'T STAND, DON'T STAND SO, DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME!"
Don't stand right on top of the person next to you in the studio.  Just like in
everyday life, a certain respect for personal space should be observed. Don't
stand right on top of the person next to you in the studio. Just like in everyday
life, a certain respect for personal space should be observed. Learn spatial
awareness, even if you've never taken a dance class or exercise class. There's
nothing worse than having someone cramp your space – especially when arms
are a-flapping and legs a-kicking. Even if a class is full to capacity, there's seems
to be a natural way keep space.
3. "IT'S MY DANCE CLASS AND I'LL DANCE HOW I WANT TO . . ."
Be respectful to the instructor and let the instructor lead the class.  If you can't
follow along, it's strongly encouraged that you nevertheless keep moving, but
don't just outright do a completely different routine from the instructor.
4. THE (CLUELESS) LONE RANGER
Likewise don't enter an ongoing class only to start performing your own
personalized program
5. CAN'T IT WAIT?
Being in the center of the studio with your bestie surrounded by eager exercisers
is not the optimum or appropriate time to catch up on your gossip. Some people
actually want to use their exercise time, well, exercising.  Hold that chat until
you've worked up a good sweat and the class is finished.
6. WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
Don't take the mickey during the class just because you yourself are feeling
uncomfortable and self-conscious, and certainly don't start mocking the people
in the class with you. 
7. HOLD YOUR HORSES
Before entering your class, allow the current class to finish completely. Better
still, allow the current class clients to exit before you and your next group class
flood in blocking the doorway and causing a sweaty, awkward bottleneck.
8. "TO DISRUPT OR NOT TO DISRUPT"
"Be on time as best as possible." For certain types of classes it's perfectly OK to
walk in slightly late.  We are all busy and punctuality can sometimes slip.  If
you're familiar with the instructor and style then your late entry should go
unnoticed.  But if you're brand new to the gym, or new to the class and its type
of exercise, then it's highly recommended you arrive on time
9. I OWN THIS TERRITORY-NOT! 
It's normal human nature to have a fond spot in the studio, but don't be so
obsessively attached to your spot that you become visibly annoyed when
someone else has beaten to you to it.  Be flexible and find a new spot graciously. 
New members have no clue you "own" that spot.
10. INEXPERT INSTRUCTORS
Yes many of us have experienced that earth-shattering moment when we realize
that the instructor is absolutely horrid.  But, if you have this moment after the
class is underway, try to resist the temptation to bolt for the exit. 

11. "YOU'RE BOTHERING ME"

Bottom line is we have all chosen to use our exercise time in what may see the
most efficient time.  Yes people arrived late, leave early - any number of things
can be driving your time at the gym.  The point is to try and make these entries
and exits as seamless as possible. And if you are the observer of this behavior
and you are completely and utterly disgusted and bothered by it, don't be. There
will always come a time when you too will do something wrong in the eyes of
someone else.
12. NEWBIE CAN'T EXERCISE; JUST BE NICE
Be encouraging to new members, particularly those who perhaps can't perform
as well,or clearly seem out of their element.  Smile and encourage them to come
back again and explain it gets easier (which it does).
13. CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE AT THE DOOR 
Lastly, never look down at new members in any part of the gym.   Don't be so
snotty and hard on newbies, because it doesn't take much to put people off
returning to the gym and achieving their intended fitness goals.
