Dance Class Guidelines
Austin Ballroom Dancers is a social dance club dedicated to
providing an enjoyable dance experience for its members and
guests. These guidelines are a list of good manners and
acceptable behavior.
Please limit talking in class while the
instructor is teaching.
Please turn off your cell phone's ringer during
class.
Please arrive for class a few minutes early if possible
so you won't disrupt the class by coming in late. If you
can't help being late, please come in quietly.
Since dancing is mostly in close proximity
with others, please take care of all odors, bad or, even your best perfume
or cologne can be overpowering, and some people might be allergic to it.
Be open to switching dance partners during class as it tends to increase
learning for all partners.
When partners dance and are not at the same skill level, or one is having trouble
with a particular step, it is right for the more experienced dancer to dance at the level of the less
experienced one without unsolicited teaching,or rude comments. Work with your partner
to correct the step or indicate that he or she may need further instruction from the teacher but,
please do not teach.
