(10/22/2007 wh)
Fortunately social dancing involves more than just you and your partner. We always pray that we have plenty of room on the floor but, often we have either too much room, and it doesn't feel much like a social event or, we have too little room and it begins to get very close. Crowded or not, there comes a time during the dance that the couples need to watch out for others around them. We have observed many couples that do a poor job of this. Like the erratic driver on the freeway, the erratic couple on the floor may be in the minority but their presence affects all those around them. Here is a few hints for you social dancers:
1. Familiarize yourself with one of the dance floor etiquette diagrams. Our website has one under the dance tips #1
2. Men, you are the driver, pay attention to where you are going.
3. Plan ahead. Don't start a pattern knowing you cannot finish it without crashing into another couple.
4. Keep your choreographed routine off the social floor unless you are skilled enough to insert some emergency moves.
5. Ladies, you have some responsibility also. The man cannot see behind. Keep a lookout and give his hand a squeeze if you are on a collision course.
6. DON'T BACK UP WITHOUT LOOKING BEHIND YOU.
All this boils down to some common sense about social dancing. Just be conscious of the others on the floor around you.

OUR POLICY: Webmasters; You are granted permission to copy any content from our web site, provided that you provide a link to http://www.twosteptidewater.com (Contact us by email if you would like a reciprocal link). We are always looking for ways to make Two Step Tidewater Virginia THE PLACE for dance information in the Tidewater area (Norfolk VA, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake VA, Suffolk VA, Portsmouth VA, Newport News VA, Hampton va, Hampton Roads VA, Yorktown VA, Gloucester VA, Jamestown VA, and Williamsburg VA) - and for other dance events or dance locations which are of interest to Tidewater (Southside and Peninsula) area Hampton Roads dancers. We prefer to exchange links with other dance-information sites. To add a dance link, or exchange links with your web pages, email Will Harper or Walter Schultz. Worthy dance events, may post to our web site by emailing a cut-and-paste ready announcement. Your announcement can be just a text announcement or even a full web page. We will host an ongoing web page, at no cost, for Tidewater Area dance-related activities, without their own web page. Be sure to include date, time, cost, contact and location information for your event. In exchange, we ask that anyone posting to our site, include a reference to www.twosteptidewater.com on your site and/or in your intra-group's mailing list emails. (Not just C&W. We'll include Ballroom, Swing, WCS, Disco, Folk, or just churches or other clubs with dances.) We will attempt to post/remove events within a couple of days - but we cannot accept responsibility for missing an event or any other reason. We will attempt to verify ALL links, to prevent any offensive or off-topic links, but, again, cannot be responsible for other's.
