Line Dance Etiquette
Please don't think of these as "rules"... more "manners".
They are just guidelines, and they're here to help you enjoy your dancing.
-
Never walk through a block of dancers.
-
Don't bring food or drink onto a dance floor.
-
When someone's dancing, don't interrupt them. They are probably concentrating!
-
Be kind to beginners. We were all beginners once!
-
Dance the first four walls without any variations. After that, feel free to improvise.
-
Be considerate of others. That way, we all have a great time!
-
Sometimes, we need to share a dance floor with partner dancers. They have right of way, and they will dance anti-clockwise around the outside of the floor. Line dancers in the middle of the floor - keep your steps small.
-
If there's a tricky dance being danced, it's acceptable to "split the floor" and dance something easier. Usually, the easier dance will be danced at the back.
