Dance Etiquette
GENERAL TIP
- Try to focus on your partner -- even if you are shy! This is a very social dance, and it's a great way to meet friends. Feel free to start up a conversation with someone you haven’t met before.
- When the MC is making announcements, please listen! Chances are he's telling you about exciting new dance opportunities in the San Antonio area. It's polite and we’re a little old-fashioned around here. After all, we do an old-fashioned dance!
- Look around you while you dance to avoid collisions with other couples. The dance floor can get a little crowded, and nobody likes a broken toe or getting poked in the eye!
- NO AERIALS ON THE DANCE FLOOR. This means don't lift / throw your partner in any way. The dance floor is crowded and you could kick someone in the face, or hurt yourself or your partner. Aerials are appropriate in performance situations only.
- Wear deodorant, bring extra shirts & chew gum if you need it. 'Nuff said there.
- Have FUN! That is the whole point of swing dancing, after all!
If it's your first time
Don't be intimidated! Though there may be some excellent dancers at our events who have been working on their moves for years, everyone was a beginner once too. New dancers are the life of our scene and we are thrilled when you come out to dance and share your Friday with us!

How to ask someone to dance
|
What to do in an uncomfortable situation
If you are ever made uncomfortable by anyone, tell the front desk or DJ. They will either help you with your situation. |
Saying NO
Ideally, we all say "yes," but in cases where you wish to decline, please be kind. Be friendly and honest. If you do say no, it's best not to turn around and dance with someone else during the same song. If you have already promised the dance to someone else, try and find the person who asked you after that dance is finished. If someone says no to you, it's ok to ask again after several songs. If they say no again, don't get discouraged. All dancers get turned down from time to time, and there are other people who would very much like to dance with you. |
