Dance Etiquette - A Lindy hoppers guide to Dance etiquette
Ask Politely, Accept “No” Gracefully
Anyone can ask anyone to dance.
“No” is a complete sentence—please respect it without pressure.
If you decline a dance, it’s kind to take a short break before dancing with someone else nearby.
If you're turned down, don’t take it personally, there are lots of reasons a person may not want to dance at that time.
Ten ways to improve your dancing
1. Private lessons are the single best way to learn how to dance
2. Go to group classes and social dancing as often as possible
3. Attend weekend camps for an immersion experience and jump start your dancing
4. Travel and dance out of town
5. Dance with a variety of people, of all dance levels, as much as possible.
6. Watch experienced dancers when you go out, on the internet, and anywhere else you can
7. Record yourself dancing and look at your lines and how you can improve
8. Listen to lots of swing music and dance to live music as often as possible
9. Try other dance forms
10. Have fun, be creative, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes
