The Social Dance Program

Class Rules & Dance Etiquette

1. Street shoes are prohibited in the dance studio. Please bring an additional pair of shoes you can dance in. They do not have to be special ballroom shoes, just something that you feel comfortable moving in. All shoes should have backs and support the ankle well. No sneakers. No sandals.
2. Look (and smell) nice. Dress up a little and remember: mints are your friends.
3. Be nice. Don't blame your partner for not doing something right. After all, it could have been your fault.
4. Don't teach or give pointers. I know you just want to help, but it just ends up making your partner nervous and/or self-concious. For many students, it's already a big step just coming in and taking the class.
5. We are gay friendly! We do everything we can to build a supportive and respectful atmosphere. You may occasionally have to dance with a partner of the same sex. Please get over it.
