On the dance floor
There are many reasons we love dancing – it is a very fun and social activity. However, it is also a very physical activity, and it is therefore very important to respect and honor personal boundaries.
- When asking someone to dance, it is just that – an ask, and you need to be okay with a no.
- Also, it is always a good idea to pay attention to non-verbal cues such as body language or facial expressions. If someone looks uncomfortable it is better to give them space; remember that it can sometimes be hard to say no.
- When someone asks you for a dance, you are always allowed to say no.
- If you plan to lead a dip, always ask your partner before the dance if they are okay with dips.
- Acrobatics, lifts, and air steps are not allowed on the social dance floor. Only do these in jam circles and competitions.
- If you want a second dance, ASK for a second dance! Let’s throw the old Swedish tradition out the window and dance for as many songs as we want to, be that 1 or 10 ❤
