DANCE ETIQUETTE OF SOCIAL

DANCES AND DANCE MIXERS
Dance etiquette is the set of conventional rules which govern the social behavior
of social dance by way of its participants. Such policies encompass the manner
in which the participants must look and the manner wherein they approach,
dance with and leave their partner. Etiquette can vary in its specification and
stringency among different forms of dance.
Why is dance etiquette significant? Because it helps you fit in with the social
dance crowd and makes social interaction easier. It helps you keep the peace
and avoid getting into conflicts with other dancers. It shows that you care about
and respect other people and most importantly, it helps you build a good
reputation for yourself, both as a person and as a dancer.
