Dance Etiquette Tips

This, I believe is a very important subject, but so very often forgotten. Dance Etiquette. As such I thought I put this at the first item on this page. Over the years, I've been told bits and pieces of what is good etiquette on and off the dance floor from multiple sources, but below is a link to one of my favorite compilation of dance etiquette I've ever seen written. I suggest that everyone should read it every so often, just to remind oneself the do and don't of good etiquette, and help everyone have a good time.
Dance Etiquette Tips by Erik Novoa

Another nice list was brought to my attention recently that has a few items that are not listed in Erik's list above. Again, I suggest that everyone should read these pages every so often.. Again, it's good to remind oneself what is and is not good etiquette on and off the dance floor. Sadly I'm discovering a few people don't know some of these simple rules and are making the dance floor a less enjoyable place for everyone.
