Dance is an art and values that comes in many

forms that almost anyone can enjoy. There are so many
different styles, so many different reasons to dance,
from casual socializing to the full art of performance.

Ballroom Dance Etiquette

1. Dance in the line of dance. Ballroom dancers move around the floor in a counter-
clockwise direction. You should be moving in this direction most of the time.

2. When things go wrong, apologize. If you bump into someone, or step on someone’s
foot tell them you’re sorry. Don’t just ignore them.
 3. Conversation should be off the dance floor. If you’d like to talk, do it off the dance
floor.

4. Personal hygiene. Make sure you don’t have bad body odor or bad breath. Very
Important ballroom dance etiquette.

5. Dance at your partner’s ability. If you are an experienced ballroom dance leader
dancing with a beginner follower, don’t expect her to do advanced moves. Build the
dance. Start with easy stuff. Once you see that she’s with the timing and following easy
patters, try advancing to more difficult ones.

 1. Attire
One of the most glamorous aspects of dancesport is that we get to wear these amazing
dresses at competitions. Every single one of us wants to grab the attention and look the
best we can for ourselves, for the audience, for our partner, and for the judges.

Characteristics of Attire

a. Sleek & Voluptuous

b. Carnival & Fun
c. Light & Delicate
d. Predator & Prey
e. Sparkles & Luxurious
f. Fringy & Cheeky

2. Shoes

The right ballroom shoes make all the difference in one’s comfort, stamina, and ability to
execute tricky dance moves. Dance shoes must withstand a tremendous amount of wear and
tear without breaking or failing in any way. All dance shoes have a suede bottom to allow for
a certain amount of sliding and spinning, while still gripping the floor and allow for powerful
movement.

Warm-up exercise and Injury Prevention

1. Walking Knee to Chest

This dynamic stretch is a great way to slowly get your body moving while stretching main
muscle groups. It can be done walking as seen in the video or standing in place. It is also
a great balance exercise!

2. Lunges

Stand with one leg straight in front of you and one straight behind, then slowly bend the
back leg down into a lunge position. Once there, slowly straighten the back leg out back
to the starting position. Key points to remember: keep the front knee in line with the toes
and try to lower your hips in the middle of your legs. Don’t let the front knee bend in front
of the toes as this can cause knee pain. Your legs will be more than ready to Tango after
this exercise!

3. Forward Bend

Stand with feet together and starting with the top of the head, slowly roll down through
the spine until your hands reach the floor. Reverse this motion by rolling back up to
standing-your head should be the last thing up! If you find this too difficult, keep the
knees bent or place your hands on a higher surface to lighten the stretch.

4. Foot Rotation
 Stand properly and align your left foot at 90-degree angle. And slowly start rotating your
left foot from the ankle clockwise and move backward with the clockwise which will be
one set.
