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

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.

- 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.
