To keep the dance floor a happy & safe place to be,  please encourage yourself to adhere to the following points below when using the dance floor.

(If You'd Like A Copy Of this To Save Click Here)

  • Never come onto the dance floor carrying drink, glasses, cans or lighted cigarettes.
  • Never stay on the floor to talk - if the music has started go off the dance floor to chat.
  • When dancing near beginners - be mindful and courteous and don't show off.
  • Don't start a different dance, unless there is plenty of room and you sense it is acceptable.
  • Remember the floor is for everyone. Try to leave the outside lane clear for couple dancers.
  • Those dancing around the outside lane have the right of way. Don't block their progress.
  • When dancing around the floor, the line of dance 'LOD' is anti-clockwise,                    Never dance against the LOD.
  • If the floor is crowded, take small steps; enjoy the company, but watch for collisions.
  • If you should bump into someone, it is customary to apologize whether it is your fault or not.
  • Should you accidentally knock over someone's drink replace it immediately.
  • If possible start another line rather than join one which will block the outside lanes.
  • Don't be tempted to stop dancing to teach; especially if there is no room. Try to teach off the floor if you can't find space.
  • Never walk though a line of dancers to cross the floor - always walk round the floor or wait.
  • Remember everyone was once beginners, if you can dance do try to be helpful to newcomers.
  • When starting off the dance, go to the front so that others can fall in behind you.
  • And finally, keep your head up , keep smiling and enjoy yourselves.
