Quote of The Week
"When you're a beginner, you don't recognize good dancing. You're mesmerized by fancy and glitzy figures and think 'I want to be able to do that' so you're drawn to that 'teacher'."
- Michael (Washington, DC)
Etiquette of The Week
COMPLIMENTS Both men and women should take the time to compliment their partner when they are enjoying the dancing (at a minimum). There are many compliments that can be said and can include such things as having a comfortable embrace, dancing musically, leading/following well, looking good (done respectfully), wearing nice shoes, etc. If all else fails, say, "Thank you" at the end of the tanda.
