 DON’Ts IN TERMS OF OUTFITS and DANCE
SHOES:
 Do not wear sneaker or any shoe with rubber or spongy sole. They can
stick to the dance floor during turns and spins that may cause knee and ankle
injuries. Always wear dance shoes.

 Avoid sleeveless shirts and strapped dresses. It’s not pleasant to have your
partner touch your damp skin.

 Avoid shaggy, baggy, low armpit upper shirt. Partner’s hand may get
caught in the baggy sleeves.

 Avoid accessories like big rings, watches, brooches, loose/long necklaces

and big belt buckles. They can be dangerous. They can catch in partner’s
clothing, causing scratches and bruises.

 Long hair should be put up or tied in a pony tail. It is difficult to get into
closed dance positions when the lady has long flowing hair. They might get
caught in partner’s hands or may even hit your partner’s face.
