5. Sorority dance teaching: learning to dance sorority dance etiquette common sense
The basic etiquette of the sorority dance is probably these:
Into the dance floor, you must pay attention to the dress, grooming, reflecting the good upbringing and respect for others.
Once a man is invited, a woman should accept the invitation under normal circumstances.
Once you accept the invitation, if there are no special circumstances, or the other party shows intolerable movements, you must finish a song. It is very rude to leave someone on the dance floor and walk away just because you are tired or not satisfied with their dancing skills.
Dance to the "line", don't go against the crowd's flow and interfere with other people's dancing. The "line" refers to the route of the dance, and for most fluid dances, such as waltzes and quicksteps, the line is counterclockwise around the entire dance floor.
When there are more people on the dance floor, you should pay attention to avoiding others, especially men to protect women from being bumped into; when the men are backing up, the women should pay attention to the men not to be bumped into. The speed of traveling and spinning should not be too fast, it is easy to get out of danger.
On the dance floor, men should be "gentle and lead", and the strength should not be too big and too strong; both sides should keep their own center of gravity, and should not rely on each other to maintain the center of gravity. Men to give the frame must be gentle and comfortable, women should always pay attention to maintain the center of gravity, the two sides of the body fit the degree and level accordingly.
At the beginning of the dance, the relatively low level of the best and the other side humbly said "I dance is not good, please forgive me" or "I am a beginner, please teach me more". If you are relatively advanced, don't frustrate your partner by doing difficult steps. If they don't know the steps, just do the basics and remind the newcomer how to dance in a whisper.
Even if you are not a newcomer to the dance, you should not play the difficult steps, but start with the simple ones, and if you find that you are good at it, you can gradually increase the difficulty, step by step.
If you are in a situation where you need to stop, you can stop at the edge of the dance floor, and don't stay on the dance floor and obstruct other people's dancing.
Social dancing can be appropriate conversation in the process of dancing, but social dancing is, after all, the use of dance communication, do not dance while talking non-stop, not to mention in the case of the other side do not need to endlessly guide each other how to dance.
The ballroom is not a stage, and no one has the right to hinder others from dancing, let alone the obligation to perform and show off. Big moves, fast speeds and exaggerated mannerisms are not desirable and will be considered rude.
After a dance, the two sides to thank the gift: the man took the woman spinning upward in a circle, bending over to thank, the woman should also be slightly down to thank. The newcomer should especially thank the old man. Then the man leads the woman back to her original place, if she has a companion, but also to the companion to thank.
The ballroom is a public **** occasion, even if a pair of lovers, but not in the ballroom, I love.
