Dance Floor Etiquette / Dance Floor Split
The dance floor is shared by all dancers. Whether couple dancers or line dancers, everybody needs a little space to dance. In order to avoid collisions and arguments, please observe the following rules:
- Encourage and support beginners. Remember, you were also a beginner at one time.
- Listen to the DJ. He usually announces the dance and often counts in.
- Once the music has started, do not talk to your neighbor on the dance floor. Go to the edge or sit down at your table to chat.
- Don’t squeeze in, rather look to find an empty spot on the side of the line
- Join the group that has started the announced dance. If there is enough space and you do not know the dance that was announced, you can start your own dance (maybe there is a floor split).
- Be polite and apologize if you bumped into another person, even if it wasn’t your fault.
- Take small steps when the dance floor is full.
- Be a dancer and not a teacher on the dance floor. Go to the edge of the dance floor if you want to teach a dance to a fellow dancer.
- Be happy to share the dance floor with other line dancers. Your feet, knees, arms or elbows should not be used as weapons to gain more space on the dance floor.
- Variations (turns, etc.) are allowed as long as they do not hinder the natural flow of the dance.
- Show your appreciation to live bands, teachers and DJ’s. They work hard for you and they deserve it.
- Smile and enjoy. You want to have fun and you can contribute to a good overall mood.
- Food, drinks, and cigarettes do not belong on the dance floor
