Some bits and bobs which you might find useful...
- you're more likely to get a dance if you're standing up!
- take small steps to reduce the chance of collisions
- use deodorant - and bring some spare!
- if you're asked to dance, do say yes - imagine how you'd feel if you got turned down :-(
- consider bringing a spare t-shirt, and a small towel
- ladies can ask guys to dance - think equal opportunities, plus it's a great way to get a dance!!
- guys are responsible for avoiding collisions - e.g. check and make sure there's room before leading your lady into a CBL!
- ask a specific person to dance - don't wander up to a group and ask 'Does anyone want to dance?'. It causes much confusion :-)
- guys - make sure you pitch your moves at the right level for the lady you're with. A beginner might not appreciate the finer points of a copa or a drop catch!
- try to smile and enjoy yourself - rather than worrying about whether it's your fault, or blaming your partner, when it goes wrong!!
