DANCE FLOOR ETIQUETTE OUTSIDE LANE PROGRESSIVE DANCING INSIDE (SLOW) LANE STOP & GO MOVEMENT CENTER FLOOR COUPLE SPOT TURNS SWING & CHA-CHA LINE DANCES SLOW STATIONARY DANCING Different Dances and Dance Styles can be accommodated on the floor at the same time if simple Dance Floor Etiquette is followed: 1. When dancing a progressive dance (fox-trot, polka, waltz, etc.) move in a counterclockwise fashion around the outside edge of the dance floor. 2. Slower dancers using side movements or stop-and-go patterns should dance in an imaginary inside lane, also counterclockwise. 3. Dancers who stay in the same spot (swing, cha-cha, freestyle, line dance, etc.) should keep to the center, leaving the outside edge of the dance floor open. 4. Be polite and courteous, even when collisions occasionally occur. Remember courtesy is contagious! 5. Other General Rules: a. Never carry a drink onto the dance floor. b. Never back up against the line of dance. c. Line dancers should form several small lines rather than extended one line which will block the fast lane. d. When a dance floor is crowded, it is advisable for everyone to take small steps and travel in one direction to avoid collisions with other dancers. e. Don t stand on the dance floor to talk, thus taking up valuable dance space. SEE YOU ON THE DANCE FLOOR!
