In
many activities, there is something that delineates expectations which is
etiquette. Well in dance, there is also a need for etiquette. For dancing such
as hip hop or kpop dance classes it's considerably more relaxed but there are
things to take note of. There are dance etiquette or things to avoid in dance
classes. I myself have broken many rules previously and think some of them are
pointless. Here is a compounded list of possible tips just to assist you to
together with your dancing:
Treat
your dance teacher with respect. Do not say gossip behind the teacher just
because you didn't enjoy the class.
Be punctual
on the lessons! Waking up late is not an excuse for being late it’s your
responsibility and also if you have an authentic reason to leave early you
should inform earlier to the dance teacher but aside from this it's respectful
to stay in a dance class till the end.
If the
dance teacher is speaking, listen to him patiently even if you already know how
to perform the required steps. It is a form of respect and courtesy for your
teacher.
Pay
the teacher with the dance class. Unless you're over a course or is pre-paid
don't leave a dance class without paying the teacher.
Avoid
eating when you are dancing, teachers may not like you chewing on sweets or
gums.
Be
an energetic participant. Do not think you could just sit out and don't involve
in the dance!
Humble
is the key, don't be arrogant and tell everyone in the dance class how great
that you are and how you're a far better dancer than them.
In
case you are a fantastic dancer, remember how hard it was to begin with and
roast newcomers or who aren't of the same quality. When they are your friends,
no doubt you can but they'll probably bite once they become better!
