This month's tip: Sharing the dance floor

Share floor space with all dancers. Always apologize if you bump into someone or step on their feet (regardless of whose fault it was). This goes for your partner as well as other dancers on the floor. Beginning and new dancers deserve just as much space on the dance floor as advanced dancers. However, all dancers, especially new dancers should make sure they find out any accepted conventions of a specific venue.

For instance, when dancing Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Two-Step, or another progressive dance, travel around the dance floor counter-clockwise which is known as the Line of Dance. If you are doing stationary patterns or dance like swing, stay towards the center of the floor,leaving room for couples to Foxtrot or Two-step in the outside lanes of the dance floor while you swing in the middle.
