I could probably go on. So next time you're at a dance, whether it's at a studio, club, ballroom or bar, try to have some sympathy for the organizer. And go ahead and thank them, but you've already done what they want most - you showed up. How to Dance I've been reading some opinions lately on how to get asked to dance, how to ask someone to dance, whether it's OK to turn someone down, whether it's OK to interrupt a conversation to ask someone to dance, etc. Out in the social dance world, nothing is more important than asking or getting asked to dance when you're a single dancer.
Some people are better at politely letting someone know they want to dance than others.
Bring the right dance shoes, since dancers notice whether someone has the wrong kind of shoes. It's worth investing in the appropriate clothes. Take the lessons offered at the beginning of the dance, even if you are an advanced dancer and it's a lesson for beginners. People, especially beginners who are looking for partners, are more likely to be taking part in the lessons. At the lesson and throughout the night, introduce yourself to each new partner you meet.
