  • 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

  • Those dancing around the outside lane have the
    right of way. Don’t block their progress

  • If you should bump into someone, it is customary to apologise whether it is your fault or not

  • If possible start another line rather than join one which will block the outside lanes

  • Never walk though a line of dancers to cross the floor – always walk round the floor or wait
  • Remember everyone was once a beginner; if you can already dance do try to be helpful to newcomers

Dance: Shoulda Let You Go  Choreographers: Pat “Righteous” Thorpe, Anita Mullin

  • 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
