General

• Always do the warm up before class and cool down at the end.
  

• Wear comfortable shoes, preferably non-rubber soled. Your knees will

  appreciate it!!
  

• Relax and enjoy yourself, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, you

  are amongst friends. People who love to dance.

• Small steps help you stay on the beat.

• Respect other dancers' space.

• Simple moves done well always look best.

• Take a moment to think about personal hygiene before class/party.

• Never refuse a dance unless you are too tired.

 

Men

• Dance with as many ladies as possible to develop your technique.

• Never force a lady through a move if she is not ready or comfortable

        with it.

• A regular change of shirt is a MUST if you want to remain popular with

        the ladies.

 

 

Ladies

• Be patient.
  

• Don't try to lead and you should end up with good confident male leads

  and ladies who can follow.

• It's okay to ask for a dance, it's not always down to the men!

• Ladies who are sat down, spend their time chatting. Ladies who are

  standing near the dancefloor, spend their time dancing.
