WHAT TO KNOW
MELCS: Demonstrates proper etiquette and safety in the use of facilities and
equipment. (PEH12FH-Ia-t-12)
Background Information for Learners
Did You Know?
One definition of the French word étiquette is "ticket" or "label attached to something for
identification." In 16th-century Spain, the French word was borrowed (and altered to "etiqueta") to refer to
the written protocols describing orders of precedence and behavior demanded of those who appeared in
court.
Eventually, "etiqueta" came to be applied to the court ceremonies themselves as well as the
documents which outlined the requirements for them. Interestingly, this then led to French speakers of the
time attributing the second sense of "proper behavior" to their "étiquette," and in the middle of the 18th
century English speakers finally adopted both the word and the second meaning from the French.
Why do we care about dance etiquette? Because it is nice to know how to go about in the dancing
circles. It makes the difference between having a happy or unhappy dancing experience, the difference
between people wanting, or not wanting to dance with you.

LET US STUDY

Definition of etiquette: the conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by

authority to be observed in social or official life

Dance etiquette is a set of guidelines that help us navigate the social dimensions of dancing.

Protocol:
Dancing has its own culture. If you want to join a group of dancers and enjoy their company, it is a
good idea to follow the accepted costums of their dance group. One of the ways you get accepted
into a group is by the way you're dressed.

The more formal the dance, the more formal the outfit. For example, if you are invited to a formal
charity ball, anything less than a tuxedo for men or ball gown for women would be inappropriate. On
the other hand, at a dance lesson at your local studio, there is usually no need to dress formally.

Comfort and safety:

Wear clothing that makes it easy and enjoyable to dance, both for yourself and your partner.

Personal Grooming
Dancing is an activity where two people come in close contact. Before a dance:
● Shower and use a deodorant,
● Brush teeth and use mouthwash or breath mint,
● Abstain from foods that produce strong odors, like those heavy in garlic
● The odor of cigarettes on one's breath or clothing can be very unattractive.
During a dance:
● Check your grooming periodically
● During active dance sessions, freshen up and towel off periodically in the bathroom
● Gentlemen, you can carry an extra shirt with you to the dance, in case you need a change
