The Etiquette of a dance night out.
This may seem silly but there are a few basic points to remember and hopefully abide by when you go dancing.
Personal-
If you sweat please be a wear of that fact and take extra tops and deodorants.
Clubs can get very busy, very hot and extremely humid.
In the short term a small hand towel can be useful.
Do not go dancing straight from work, you need to be fresh and showered.
Garlic for dinner, enough said, where are the mints and month wash.

Cuban Dance Styles
Polite-
If someone asks you to dance it’s always polite to accept, but if you must decline do it with a little thought and politeness.
If you are just danced out say so but please don’t just turn straight around and dance with someone else.
You have seen them dance and your style is different say so.
If you are resting or do not like the track, tell them you will dance to the next track you like or later in the evening.
If you have seen them dance or have danced with them before and most certainly don’t want to ever again. Just say “no thank you” saying “Go away” is possibility not a good idea.
If they are a couple, remember that it might be just possible that they love dancing together and do not want there partner danced out with a stream of other people. So if you get a ”No” keep an open mind as to the reason why. But don’t let it stop you asking anyway.
On the floor-
If it’s Cuban music there is nothing worse than dancing next to a cross body dancer in a crowed room. Circles and lines do not fit together.
On a crowded dance floor keep the amount of space you use relative to the people around you.
Remember that in a small rueda 8 people can dance in a space that normally takes only 4 people. So unless the wheel is enormous it is not taking up any more room than anyone else so give them space.
Dancing close, I love to dance close but please use your brain there is a difference and a very fine line between close and being a total asshole. Stepping over the mark may get you some No’s or I’m resting and a bad name very fast.
Dance to the level of your partner, do not pull her arms out just because you want to do that new move regardless.
Be careful with helpful comments they may not be appreciated. Remember this is a dance not a class.
Do not laugh at beginners this shows a total lack of intelligence. There will be other people that will never ever progress so long as they have a hole somewhere but chances are there are trying and enjoying it so don’t spoil it.
Keep the drinks off the dance floor many of the people in that room will have a certain pride and investment in there footwear and the last thing they want is a sticky wet floor.
