Some Ballroom Dance Rules You've Never Heard Of

• Travel counter-clockwise. Dancers are supposed to travel around the floor in a counter-clockwise direction—don’t ruin the flow by going the wrong way!
• Know your speed. Slower dancers should move towards the center of the dance floor and away from the outer edge

• Dance invitations should be respected. It is rude to decline an invitation. And, contrary to popular belief, either a man or a woman can ask someone to dance.
  
• Be a gentleman. It is customary for the man to walk the woman back to where she was before the dance.
  
• Be courteous. After the dance, thank your partner and applaud the other dancers.
  
• Always look left. When you turn right, look left. When you turn left, look more left.
  
• Dress the part. Bare feet are not allowed on the dance floor, and it is good ballroom dance etiquette to have good hygiene and be well-groomed. Additionally, there are many nuances to wearing the right kind of dance attire.
• Feet forward. Moonwalk or not, don’t walk backwards onto the dance floor. You could disturb the dancers mid-move and even annoy your own dance partner.
