A Summertime Message From Our President, Madeline Brock.
Dancing involves a lot of close contact. If you notice that your partner is hesitant to get into proper dance hold, is holding his or her breath, bolts from the dance floor as soon as the dance is over, or declines to dance with you again, you should recheck your hygiene and attire before coming to dancing: |
- Wear comfortable, casual, clean, fresh attire for general folk dancing.
 - Wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes.
- Take a shower.
- Brush your teeth.
- Use a deodorant.
|
- Avoid using strong perfumes or colognes.
- Don't wear sharp jewelry, particularly rings.
- Keep jewelry to a minimum to avoid getting it caught in someone's clothing or hair.
- Keep your hands clean. If they get sweaty during dancing, or you’ve been eating snacks, go wash them.
- If you perspire heavily during dancing, bring extra shirts and change them often.
