As it isn't taught very often in Huntsville, we wanted to post a page explaining some dance etiquette.

Also check out An Open Letter to Creepy Leads written by a swing dancer and therapist.

Finally, read Sketchy Guys by Richard Powers of the Stanford Dance Division. The article is how to avoid being a sketchy guy, (even if you don't know you're doing it).
