DON'T insist on dancing your way when visiting other areas. If these people dance palms up on the Alamo, go along with it. If they do or do not stir the bucket. DON'T try to help the caller when filling in with a new class by explaining or pushing or pulling. Dance as though it is your first night also.
Children are often present and many clubs dance in churches or schools.
Drinking may even adversely affect your dancing ability. This is a cardinal rule of square dancing. Ask a friend for gum or mints if you forget yours. DON'T forget to use a deodorant after your pre-dance bath or shower. You may become quite warm when you are dancing.
