Floorcraft & etiquette

At our tango events all dancers are expected to respect the best standards of floorcraft and consideration for other dancers. This helps everyone to enjoy an afternoon of pleasant dancing. We expect everyone to follow these rules:

 

Please do:

Try to use the 'Cabeceo' to request & accept dances.

'Merge' into the line of dance without interrupting other dancers.

Keep a constant flow of movement around the dance floor.

Dance in a constant lane around the edge of the dance floor.

Keep your distance to the couple in front, and avoid overtaking.
Apologise briefly if you bump into other dancers.
Aim to dance with one partner for each 'Tanda' of 3 or 4 tracks.

Leave the dance floor during the “Cortina” between Tandas.

 

Please don't:

 

Step or travel against the line of dance.

Dance in the middle of the floor.

Dance in one spot and obstruct the line of dance.
Use steps or movements that risk kicks or collisions.
Stop during the dance to chat.
Make sudden changes of direction or change lanes
.

Use excessive space with show moves.

Teach each other steps.

Stand or sit obstructing the dance floor.

Walk across the dance floor.
