Safety tips for Social Dancing
• The floor is for dancing. Walk around the edge of the dance floor rather than trying to thread your way through the dancers.
• Don’t take drinks onto the dance floor incase you spill a drink, dancers soles tend to absorb fluids and then they can’t dance.
• Take off sharp rings, bracelets, hair pieces and keep your nails short guys too.
• If you are teaching, learning or practicing new moves, do it off to the side of the dance floor.
• If the dance floor is crowded, don’t take up excessive space or travel from area to area, look around and behind you so you don’t crash into others like salsa dancing. As with driving, good dancing includes the skill of dancing with everyone on the dance floor, not just your partner. Air steps (aerials) & lifts are for competitions and performances not the social dance floor and are banned at the studio and usually social events. Never lift without permission.
• Do not drink and dance. Not to much anyway… If you have had too much to drive, you’ve had too much to dance.
• Also make sure your breath is sweet and use deodorant. Manage your well being.
