Match your speed with the couples around you. Never attempt aerials and choreography on social dance floors. Never dance alone. Swing dancing is usually a stationary dance, so there should be little movement on the dance floor. If a song involves more than one type of dance, however, swingers should stay in the center of the dance floor and moving dancers can move on the outer rim of the floor.
Most moving dances move in a counter-clockwise direction.
Generally, you don't want to dance with the same partner for more than two consecutive songs. Try to dance with several people, allowing everyone the opportunity to dance. If the floor is a mix-match of gender, sit out on several songs to make sure everyone has the chance to dance often. Teaching on the Dance Floor Try to avoid teaching new steps or patterns to your partner. Dance at his or her level.
